Title: When Learning Goes Green: Open Spaces for Education and Social Inclusion

Abstract: The current generation of young people is experiencing an «orphan» adolescence of nature. Young people report spending less and less time outdoors, due to a lack of time and space dedicated to recreational school activities and the inability of parents to engage in moments of leisure to be enjoyed together in the open air. These circumstances actually indicate a reduced recognition of the educational value attributed to experiences lived in nature by adults, with important repercussions on the structuring of beliefs and perceptions relating to the relationship with the natural environment. The combination of this inattention to environmental problems and how significant it can be to learn from nature exposes the youngest to a socalled «environmental deficit». The main objective of this study is, therefore, to evaluate the effectiveness of educational programs focused on the enhancement of educational-didactic approaches that exploit the learning of doing, on the level of children's connectedness to nature and how it is possible to hypothesize changes in dysfunctional behavioral repertoires with reference to environmental conservation.

Title: Quando l'apprendimento si fa green: spazi aperti di educazione ed inclusione sociale

Abstract: L'attuale generazione di giovani vive un'adolescenza "orfana" della natura. I giovani riferiscono di trascorrere sempre meno tempo all'aperto, per mancanza di tempo e spazi dedicati ad attività scolastiche ricreative e per l'impossibilità da parte dei genitori di impegnarsi in momenti di svago da vivere insieme all'aria aperta. Queste circostanze indicano di fatto un ridotto riconoscimento del valore educativo attribuito alle esperienze vissute in natura da parte degli adulti, con importanti ricadute sulla strutturazione di convinzioni e percezioni relative al rapporto con l'ambiente naturale. La combinazione di tale disattenzione ai problemi dell'ambiente e a quanto possa essere significativo apprendere dalla natura, espone i più giovani a un cosiddetto "deficit ambientale". L'obiettivo principale di questo studio è, pertanto, valutare l'efficacia di programmi educativi incentrati sulla valorizzazione di approcci educativo-didattici che sfruttano l'apprendimento del fare, sul livello di connessione con la natura percepito dai più giovani e come da questo sia possibile ipotizzare cambiamenti in repertori di comportamento disfunzionali in riferimento alla salvaguardia dell'ambiente.

Title: Lorsque l'apprentissage est vert: espaces ouverts pour l'éducation et l'inclusion sociale

Abstract: La génération actuelle de jeunes éprouve une adolescence "orpheline" de la nature.Les jeunes se présentent pour passer de moins en moins de temps en plein air, faute de temps et d'espaces dédiés aux activités scolaires récréatives et à l'impossibilité des parents de s'engager dans des moments de loisir pour vivre ensemble en plein air.Ces circonstances indiquent efficacement une réduction de la reconnaissance de la valeur éducative attribuée aux expériences vécues dans la nature par les adultes, avec des répercussions importantes sur la structuration des croyances et des perceptions relatives à la relation avec l'environnement naturel.La combinaison de cette inattention aux problèmes de l'environnement et à quel point il peut être important d'apprendre de la nature, expose le plus jeune à un "déficit environnemental" si appelé.L'objectif principal de cette étude est donc d'évaluer l'efficacité des programmes éducatifs axés sur l'amélioration des approches éducatives-didactiques qui exploitent l'apprentissage de la réalisation, sur le niveau de connexion avec la nature perçue par les plus jeunes et comme on peut supposer à l'hypothèse des changements dans les répertoires dysfonctionnels en référence à la sauvegarde de l'environnement.

Title: Cuando el aprendizaje es verde: espacios abiertos para la educación y la inclusión social

Abstract: La generación actual de jóvenes experimenta una adolescencia "huérfana" de la naturaleza.Los jóvenes informan pasar cada vez menos tiempo al aire libre, por falta de tiempo y espacios dedicados a actividades escolares recreativas y por la imposibilidad de que los padres participen en momentos de ocio para vivir juntos al aire libre.Estas circunstancias indican efectivamente un reconocimiento reducido del valor educativo atribuido a las experiencias experimentadas en la naturaleza por los adultos, con importantes repercusiones sobre la estructuración de creencias y percepciones relacionadas con la relación con el entorno natural.La combinación de esta falta de atención a los problemas del medio ambiente y lo significativo que puede ser aprender de la naturaleza, expone a los más jóvenes a un "déficit ambiental" de SO.Por lo tanto, el objetivo principal de este estudio es evaluar la efectividad de los programas educativos centrados en la mejora de los enfoques educativos-didácticos que explotan el aprendizaje de lo que hace, en el nivel de conexión con la naturaleza percibida por los más jóvenes y, como se puede suponer, hipotesizar los cambios en los repertímetros disfuncionales en referencia a la seguridad en el entorno.

Title: Quando o aprendizado é verde: espaços abertos para educação e inclusão social

Abstract: A geração atual de jovens experimenta uma adolescência "órfã" da natureza.Os jovens se reportam para gastar cada vez menos tempo ao ar livre, por falta de tempo e espaços dedicados a atividades escolares recreativas e pela impossibilidade dos pais de se envolverem em momentos de lazer para viver juntos ao ar livre.Essas circunstâncias indicam efetivamente um reconhecimento reduzido do valor educacional atribuído às experiências experimentadas na natureza pelos adultos, com importantes repercussões sobre a estruturação de crenças e percepções relacionadas ao relacionamento com o ambiente natural.A combinação dessa desatenção aos problemas do meio ambiente e o quão significativo pode ser aprender com a natureza, expõe o mais jovem a um "déficit ambiental" chamado.O principal objetivo deste estudo é, portanto, avaliar a eficácia dos programas educacionais focados no aprimoramento de abordagens educacionais-didáticas que exploram o aprendizado de fazer, no nível de conexão com a natureza percebida pelos mais jovens e que se pode supor que hipotese o ambiente.
