Marina Ewald: Leader of the First Outward Bound-Style Expedition.
Shared from The Outward Bound Trust:
"Anyone who thinks they know the history of Outward Bound, but hasn’t heard of Marina Ewald, should think again. It almost seems surprising that, given her founding role in the origin story of experiential learning, she isn’t as well known as Kurt Hahn. Or maybe it doesn’t—after after all, we’re still fighting to #ChoosetoChallenge.

...One of Marina’s most notable gifts to the future of Outward Bound came in 1925. Along with another teacher from the Salem School, she took 20 students on a 4-week expedition to Finland. The idea for the expedition came from Ewald."
 
In honor of Women's History Month, learn more about Marina Ewald and #ChoosetoChallenge from our friends at The Outward Bound Trust in Scotland.
