Greetings and Salutations
Inside the OutHaus is a community forum designed to connect the outdoor education community. Originally established to support the mental health of outdoor leaders, teachers and instructors during the Covid pandemic, it has now metamorphosed into a webinar tackling the burning questions of the outdoor community.
OutHaus Oligarchs are the dedicated volunteer team who manage the conversation and coordinate the needs of members. We represent a group of passionate outdoor educators who are inspired about connecting people from our remote workplaces to chat, challenge, inspire and motivate in this new time.

In this fun interactive forum we plan, research and facilitate a bi monthly discussion pertinent to outdoor professionals teaching and learning in nature.
