Plymouth Institute of Education, UK
"A powerful book that speaks across outdoor and adventure education and mainstream schooling. Simon Beames and Mike Brown cogently argue for pedagogies for diverse purposes and contexts in order to meet the challenge of rapidly changing societal needs."
Mike Boyes
University of Otago, New Zealand
"A revitalizing adventure agenda for inside the classroom and out. In times when education for neoliberal replication is the norm, Adventurous Learning embraces education for change…and refocuses on the passions and agency of the learner."
Jay Roberts
Earlham College, USA
"Adventurous Learning is a real gem for educators of all stripes. Purposefully designing elements of uncertainty and ambiguity into educational experience may seem counter-intuitive, but...these elements are essential to the engaged and transformative 21st-century school and classroom."

"The principles of Adventurous Learning underpin our work with young people here at Àban Outdoor. We've found them a really useful tool for planning adventures and reflecting on practice, both as a staff team and with participants. Structuring our post programme surveys around mastery, autonomy, authenticity and uncertainty also gives us a meaningful foundation to measure our impact."
