AAEE NSW delivered the Take Me Outside NSW program from 2019 – 2022, with funding support from the NSW Environmental Trust and permission from Take Me Outside Canada.
Take Me Outside NSW offered a free 'one-stop-shop' for teachers, educators and community volunteers to connect with community groups, government staff & programs in NSW which support the Take Me Outside philosophy – getting kids active outdoors, reconnecting people with nature as active citizens & enhancing the long-term health of our environment.
Registered participants were supported to plan, deliver and evaluate their environment education projects. Local supporters registered to help project participants deliver successful projects and get kids outside. Over 500 educators engaged in professional learning to enhance design, delivery and evaluation of nature connection and environmental action projects
