NatureDiverse: Nurturing Inclusive Learning through Nature-Based Education for Neurodiverse Children

NatureDiverse aims to promote inclusive education by integrating nature-based learning approaches for children with autism and other neurodiverse profiles. The project focuses on creating structured, evidence-based outdoor learning activities that support children’s social, emotional, sensory, and motor development.

By combining nature-based instruction with inclusive education practices, NatureDiverse empowers educators with the skills and resources needed to create supportive learning environments beyond the traditional classroom. The project also encourages greater awareness of neurodiversity and highlights the benefits of outdoor learning for children’s wellbeing, engagement, and overall development.

Through transnational collaboration, NatureDiverse will foster knowledge exchange, strengthen professional capacities, and promote inclusive, sustainable education practices across Europe.

  • Objectives
- Develop Inclusive Nature-Based Activities: Create a structured pool of outdoor learning activities tailored to the needs of children with autism and other neurodiverse learners.
- Strengthen Teachers’ Competences: Provide specialized training and practical guidance to educators to support inclusive, nature-based learning in preschool and primary school settings.
- Promote Inclusion and Wellbeing: Enhance children’s access to supportive, engaging, and sensory-friendly learning environments that foster autonomy, communication, and social skills.
- Encourage Cross-Cultural Exchange: Facilitate cooperation between European partners to share good practices, expertise, and innovative approaches to inclusive education.
