nature connectedness
human-nature connection
nature-based education
I have a master's degree in philosophy and a bachelor's degree in psychology, with pedagogical studies qualifying me as a teacher on both these subjects as well as ethics. In my research I combine all these central areas of interest.
My research focuses on the benefits and means to enhance nature connectedness of children in early childhood education.
