Global Lessons on Greening School Grounds and Outdoor Learning
There is growing momentum worldwide to make school grounds greener as a sensible and thoughtful approach to increase climate resilience and improve health and education outcomes, especially for those most impacted by systems of inequity and environmental injustices. What are examples of success from around the world and what are the barriers to creating green school grounds at scale?
This six-part online program is part of an 18-month project to identify and disseminate successful approaches to school ground greening from around the world to influence and help us, as a society, make significant progress in addressing complex interrelated problems. This project will be led by Children & Nature Network, in partnership with Salzburg Global Seminar, the International School Grounds Alliance, International Union for the Conservation of Nature, #NatureForAll, and the National League of Cities Institute for Youth, Education and Families. The project began with a launch event in November 2021.
PROGRAM GOALS
- Identify scalable strategies and deepen our understanding of how to support the worldwide movement of schoolyard greening.
- Document the field by sharing experiences, research and best practices to help galvanize a global green schoolyard movement and support our partners to make a broader case successfully.
- Set the foundation for an International Greening School Grounds and Outdoor Learning Agenda to advance the movement to benefit children, nature, communities and climate around the world.

Format & DATES
The Global Lessons on Greening School Grounds and Outdoor Learning Virtual Cohort will bring together leaders and practitioners active in improving climate resilience, biodiversity, urban design, education, child-development, health and wellbeing, and community-building through a series of virtual sessions.
This highly interactive online program will be structured around a mix of thought-provoking presentations, curated conversations, informal interactions, knowledge exchange, and practical group work.
