SUPPORTING FUTURE GENERATIONS TO THRIVE
We're passionate about providing an inclusive and supportive space for young people to explore themselves, others and the natural world through inspiring adventures in wild places.
We know that having the opportunity to step outside the bubble through adventure is crucial in the development of healthy, future ready young people, and that it inspires them in their role as guardians of the planet. As an organisation we believe adventure is vital in supporting future generations to thrive. It's why we exist.
We've got decades of experience in facilitating student adventures with purpose, both within the wilds of the UK and internationally. With a commitment to building long term partnerships with all the schools we work with - we would love the opportunity to work with your young people on an inspiring wild adventure.
"What an Unforgettable Experience!
Spending 5 days with The Living Project team on the Discover Dartmoor Adventure was truly transformative. As a student from Brighton College, I had the opportunity to step out of my comfort zone, away from everyday life, and immerse myself in the stunning, rugged beauty of Dartmoor. Exploring the wild, watching the sunset, and spending a night under the shooting stars were just parts of this unforgettable journey.
This adventure taught me invaluable lessons about gratitude, resilience, and the power of community. Volunteering with the Dartmoor National Park Authority made me appreciate the importance of preserving our natural spaces. Achieving the John Muir Discover Award was a proud moment, symbolising our collective efforts and dedication.
The bonds I formed with my peers and the guidance and support from our incredible teachers, along with the inspiring leadership of Matt and Emma have left a lasting impact on me. I’ve returned with a renewed sense of confidence, a deeper connection to nature, and a commitment to living mindfully. This experience has truly enriched my life and will stay with me forever."

the more high tech we become - the more nature we need
“The future will belong to the nature-smart — those individuals, families, businesses and political leaders who develop a deeper understanding of the transformative power of the natural world, and who balance the virtual with the real. The more high- tech we become, the more nature we need.” (Richard Louv)
