Outdoor Health and Wellbeing

Introduction

Starting from the idea that moving and being in nature supports our health and wellbeing and drawing on over thirty years of outdoor education teaching and expertise at UWTSD, we work with a range of partners developing a focus on health and wellbeing in the outdoors.

Outdoor Experiences

At the Cynefin Green Health Hub, we work with our local community in Carmarthenshire to improve health and wellbeing. We run activities and events designed to build people's connection to the natural world, such as sensory walks and fire-making among much else.

We offer summer schools for International students, bringing together the chance to go on adventures in the beautiful environments of South West Wales with cultural visits and experiences. Our summer schools can be customised around the needs of the participants. Learn more...
