Landscape pedagogy for environmental and outdoor educators

A novel approach to environmental and outdoor education, termed 'landscape pedagogy,' is proposed as a means to foster deeper connections between humans and nonhuman nature. This framework leverages the metaphor of fabric to illustrate the interconnectedness of human and natural systems, using Laponia's landscape as a living example. The concept emphasizes relational and responsive practices that encourage a sense of belonging and responsibility within the natural world. By integrating these principles into educational strategies, the study aims to address the growing disconnect between people and nature, ultimately guiding toward more sustainable futures.
