Project Overview

Hike Wise aims to equip current and future PE teachers with the skills to integrate outdoor activities like hiking into secondary education. This initiative addresses gaps in teacher training and the growing disconnection between students and nature. Hiking promotes physical health, environmental appreciation, and socialisation, aligning with EU priorities like the Green Deal and biodiversity strategies. Partner institutions are motivated to enhance curricula, train educators, and promote sustainable, active lifestyles. Funding this project supports EU goals of fostering environmental awareness, healthier lifestyles, and improved education.
