University celebrates Outdoor Learning Week with activities
The University of Wales Trinity Saint David (UWTSD) held workshops and activities at Yr Egin's community garden and the Carmarthen campus Sports Hall.
These sessions were all part of Wales Outdoor Learning Week 2025 and aimed to inspire the university students and primary school children who took part.
Early years lecturer, Glenda Tinney, said: "Having a garden and other outdoor space to bring students to engage with the importance of outdoor learning is so important for early childhood students.
"Exploring, being curious, and having authentic experiences in the natural world are key to young children's development.
"Outdoor learning week reminds us how crucial it is for all of us to get outside and explore.
"We look forward to more experiences in future, so we use the outdoors regularly throughout the term to support students' learning."
Yr Egin's engagement manager, Llinos Jones, said: "It's inspiring to see students engaging directly with real communities and schoolchildren, putting their work into practice in meaningful ways.
"The opportunity to co-deliver workshops helps them develop confidence, imagination, and a deeper understanding of the world around them.
"The garden is a fantastic space for learning and connection."
