Beskrivelse
This session will explore approaches for supporting a nature-rich childhood in countries from Australia and Northern Europe. The session will begin with Australian nature play advocate, Griffin Longley, providing a glimpse into the campaign to restore Australia’s culture of an outdoor childhood. He will share results from a study tour exploring ways that The Netherlands, Denmark, Norway, Finland, and Iceland (countries ranked highest by UNICEF for childhood wellbeing) maintain children’s connection to nature.In the second part of the session, the Danish educational researchers Karen Wistoft and Morten Kromann Nielsen will introduce the current revival of garden-based learning in primary education in Denmark. Central elements to the presentation include the way values around student involvement, autonomy and freedom are framing students’ learning from different activities around collecting wild plants, growing vegetables, harvesting, cooking and eating. In the last part of the session, we will conduct a discussion of findings and recommendations from a specific illustrative case study that has explored different practices around outdoor taste education. This discussion will focus on how different pedagogical and didactical approaches to teaching with, for and through taste can promote nature and school gardens as inclusive and democratic learning environments.
