Experiential Learning as a Digital Detox

What’s on offer?

We welcome attendees to On The Hill in the Teign Valley from 2pm on the 9th November 2024. The afternoon will include a farm tour, and opportunity to experience activities open to programmes visiting the farm. This will conclude with a fireside talk in the cosy cob barn and hot food. Families with small children will be able to have an earlier dinner at 5pm if not staying for the fireside talk. We will conclude all activities by 7pm.

What’s it about?

We invite attendees to come to the farm for an afternoon to experience time on the land, get involved in some hands-on activities and take part in discussions about the role of screen time, and the potential benefits of time away from screens on a farm setting. The afternoon will conclude with a fireside discussion and talk with the educator and director of On The Hill in the Cob Barn, with food served for attendees afterwards. All food and refreshments will be provided. 

Who’s leading the event?

The event is jointly led by Dr Lewis Winks from the University of Exeter and the team at On The Hill, who have partnered with University of Exeter research projects since 2013.
