<p>In this unit students examine and critique concepts of place, landscape, wilderness and journey from an educational perspective. They explore the relevant theoretical foundations underpinning journey-based learning in outdoor and environmental education and the educational possibilities expeditionary learning offers. Students are exposed to the responsibilities of planning, development and implementation of leadership and teaching on extended journeys. They learn place-based knowledge, along with leadership and facilitation skills, required to facilitate educational experiences for groups during extended journeys.</p>
