discussions. At the same time the students get a possibility to learn more about the area. Fornewly arrived immigrants it can make a great difference and create a sense of familiarity andsafety. In this workshop I will show some examples of how to use Outdoor Education as a toolfor second language learning and also as a method for integration.Title:Smart KidsAuthor/s:Sven-Gunnar Furmark, Luleå University of Technology, Sweden.Abstract:The purpose of the workshop is to give the participants tools to carry through the Smart Kidsconcept within their own work. Smart Kids is a concept aimed to be used within school. Theconcept, which is created by Sven-Gunnar Furmark, combines cooperative learning withphysical activity. It can be described as a method for learning and testing knowledge within aspecific theme, for instance “animals” or “the human body”. Smart Kids can be adapted to allages from 6 year olds to grown-ups. The pupils/students work in small groups. They are givena task, for instance to reveal “the secret animal”. The groups prepare the activity in theclassroom by learning facts within the theme. Then, with the help of a map, they orientatewithin a school yard, park in the city, or a forest area, and find signs, which they have todecode to complete the task. Two variants of Smart Kids will be presented in the workshop.32

In Adapted Physical Activity/Education (APA) the main approach seems tohave been that the target groups have to adapt to already pre-defined sports and activities,which may not meet the needs of the individual. This presentation will explore and discuss astudy based on the opposite approach, in which the outdoor sport/activity of orienteering wasadapted to a group of youth with Down syndrome aged 14-18, in order to stimulate theirembodied cognition and mastering of navigation within daily life. By using a triple angelmethodology consisting of phenomenological, ecological and grounded theory approach, thepresentation explore the participants’ actions and lived experiences of navigation in an urbannatural area by following specially designed maps; a three-dimension map, a transition map,and an enlarged standard map. Empirically a participant action research approach wasemployed, including the use of first-person camera view, and constant adaptation of theprogram and types of maps according to the ability and ongoing response from the participant.Title:A Deleuzo-Guattarian urban-rural assemblage: An Australian outdoor environmentaleducation perspective.Author/s:Alistair Stewart, La Trobe University, Victoria, Australia.33
