Summary: Adventurous Learning interrogates the word 'adventure' and explores how elements of authencity, agency, uncertainty and mastery can be incorporated into educational practices. It outlines key elements for a pedagogy of adventurous learning and provides guidelines grounded in accessible theory. Educators can adapt and tailor these guidelines for indoor and outdoor teaching in their own contexts. By reclaiming adventure and its role in learning, educators will be able to design and implement programmes based on sound principles that have deep and enduring meaning for their students in an increasingly complex, unpredictable and rapidly changing world.
