#NatureForAll invites you to take part in the Global Lessons on Greening School Grounds & Outdoor Learning project.
There is growing momentum to transform school grounds into nature-filled spaces for learning and play, and as a way to enhance climate resilience and improve health and education outcomes – especially for children most impacted by systems of inequity and environmental injustice. The Global Lessons on Greening School Grounds & Outdoor Learning project is engaging leaders and practitioners around the world to learn more about successful approaches and scalable strategies for greening school grounds.
This project is being led by the Children & Nature Network, in partnership with Salzburg Global Seminar, the International School Grounds Alliance, the Commission on Education and Communication of the International Union for the Conservation of Nature, #NatureForAll and the National League of Cities Institute for Youth, Education and Families.
