One of the subprojects studies an outdoor school for Swedish students, as well as activities at Australian environmental education centres. The project is run in collaboration with Macquarie University. The role of relationships with locations in environmental education in Australia and Sweden is studied and compared. Another subproject studies Swedish students’ experiences of regular outdoor education in years 7–9.
Through research into alternative learning environments, we gain knowledge concerning young children’s learning in biology and sustainable development during regular outdoor education, and the contribution of nature schools to the continuing education of teachers in the natural sciences and sustainable development.
