A few words about Danish nature pedagogy
The Scandinavian tradition of using nature and the outdoor environment as a learning resource and not simply as a place for children to 'let off steam' has become an important aspect of pedagogy in Denmark – where most kindergartens and early year's settings use the outdoor environment all year round.
Over the past decade there has been a growing international interest in using the outdoor environment with children and young people as a way of developing skills and increasing motivation for learning. Recent research studies illustrate that using the outdoors as a learning resource is highly beneficial for physical, mental, social and emotional development in children, young people and adults.
Each outdoor environment is unique to each setting and a pedagogical knowledge is essential to understanding not only the 'what' to do, but also the 'how' and 'why' of the learning processes – it is through pedagogy that a sustainable and truly developmental way of practice emerges.
