Nature Inclusive Education at WUR (eNaBlS Living Lab)

For everyone

Whole School Living Lab groups: Several working groups (that you can join) were formed to explore and initiate various institutional changes towards a more nature inclusive educational culture at WUR (see image on the right). Input is needed from the whole school, including students, teachers, policy and other staff.

For information and joining contact:

It takes a whole village to raise a child, and whole school to enliven a nature-inclusive learning culture for the next generation.

For (Teaching) Staff

Teacher Training : A new teacher training was developed with the Teaching and Learning Centre for using nature inclusive teaching methods in existing or new courses. Another training will be developed on how to deal with emotions for global concerns and to foster active hope in class. You will find upcoming trainings on CRS under Teaching and Supervising courses Educational Staff Development Courses

Community of Practice : Regular design and intervision meetings are organized to share, inspire and help each other with nature inclusive methods, discuss experiences and practical concerns related to NIE in practice. These meetings are meant for all staff connected to education, including teachers and program directors.
