The main objective ofNaturskolan - The
Outdoor / Environmental Education Unit in Lund -is to act as a source of
inspiration and support for schools in the Lund area in their work in the field of
environmental studies and natural science. Naturskolan encourages study of the
natural world in the classroom, in the school grounds, in the local community and on the
county and international level.
***
Pre-schools, primary, secondary and sixth form schools in
Lund District Council can draw upon the expertise and experience of Naturskolan ,
completely free of charge.
We work with you `in house´, at
your own school or place of work. We can offer help with the supervision of project work,
the holding of presentations and can offer further education courses in
education for sustainable development (ESD). We advise schools embarking upon
ESD programmes
and often take an active role in seeing to it that the measures are successfully
implemented.
*** Naturskolan is acting in the centre of the `Green
School Grounds´ network. This environmental information system is distributing ideas and
tips on how school grounds can be used and transformed where necessary into healthy and
safe learning environments. In our data base you will be able to find documented
experience and knowledge from work carried out on Green School Grounds
projects.
*** Life is a learning process. In line with the objectives laid
out in the National Curriculum, Naturskolan plans and carries out further
education courses in natural science and ESD studies for Lund District
Councils employees. We design tailor-made courses for individual schools
special requirements.
*** We are living in exciting times. Students and teachers from
different countries can communicate with each other at the flick of a switch. Naturskolan
can help you in your efforts to communicate with schools around the world; and
environmental issues within school grounds and society in general are the perfect topics
for meaningful discussion and the exchanging of ideas and experiences. The mission of the
Agenda 21 programme is to facilitate cooperation and collaboration across national
boundaries and it is to this principle that Naturskolan strongly adher.
***
Environmental education can act as the basis for the
aquisition of all knowledge - it stands at the meeting point of the humanities and natural
science. The most effective way to carry out this kind of education is to encourage the
creation of an environmental awareness in relation to the school grounds, the local
community, throughout the surrounding region and throughout the world.
