Nature kindergartens are culturally highly valued in the Nordic countries, and their unique approach to early childhood education is increasingly recognized in the international discourse. Despite a long-lasting tradition of nature kindergartens in the Nordic regions, research in this scope is relatively new and almost exclusively conducted on the national scale. The overarching objective of our participatory workshop series is to establish and foster the first Nordic Nature Kindergarten (NNK) network, which systematically brings together existing knowledge regarding research on and good practice of Nordic nature kindergartens. By enhancing co-production and sharing knowledge on the implications of Nordic nature kindergartens as spaces for children’s learning and development, we aim to create a platform for the Nordic countries to learn from each other's distinct practices and research approaches.
