Self-guided online learning

Online course description

In the UK, the Government's 25-year Environment Plan aims to improve the natural environment within a generation and to reconnect people with nature. To achieve that, people everywhere need to feel that nature matters to them.

The University of Derby is leading the development of ground-breaking evidence that explains what nature connectedness is, how it can be measured, its benefits for human and environmental wellbeing - and, importantly, how it can be improved. This course covers that work.

This free online course provides an opportunity for you to learn about Nature Connectedness and the value of having a strong relationship with nature. Made up of eight short units, the course encourages you to actively consider our relationships with nature, for our own well-being as well as for the longer-term benefit of nature and the natural world.

During the course, you will look at why nature connectedness matters and how it can be improved. You'll learn about our Pathways to Nature Connectedness Framework and will look at how you can use this framework to positively impact our connections with nature, pro-nature and environmental behaviours and our overall well-being.

The course content is informed by nationally recognised research and written by Professor Miles Richardson, a Professor of Nature Connectedness, together with colleagues from the Nature Connectedness Research Group.

The course is open to anyone and will be of particular interest to those who feel passionate about nature and pro-nature behaviours, our relationship with the natural world and its influences on our well-being.

97% agree that the course content and resources are interesting*

From a leading authority

Our research into nature connectedness has been named by Universities UK as one of the UK's 100 best breakthroughs for its impact.

"I liked how there were activities that really related to the content, they helped me stay engaged and were very thought provoking. Yes, i do think this course will positively impact my work practice, previous to this course i had very little knowledge about the concept of nature connectedness and after studying this course i can make positive changes."

Professor Miles Richardson

Course author

Miles is Professor of Human Factors and Nature Connectedness and founded the Nature Connectedness Research Group at the University of Derby. The group has pioneered the first interventions to bring about sustained increases in nature connectedness, bringing about improved wellbeing and pro-nature behaviours. In 2018 its work was named by Universities UK as one of the UK's 100 best research breakthroughs for impact.

Since launch in 2013, Miles has worked with several conservation NGOs, including the National Trust, RSPB and on 30 Days Wild with The Wildlife Trusts. Miles also works closely with Natural England, for example, on the development of the Nature Connection Index (NCI) which informs the new People and Nature Survey, as does the Pro-nature Conservation Behaviour Scale recently developed at Derby. Miles launched the Nature Connections conference series in 2015 and the Tune into Nature Music Prize in 2020.

Recent research projects include the £1.3m Improving Wellbeing through Urban Wellbeing project. Based on Miles' 'noticing the good things in nature' intervention, the research developed a smartphone intervention that delivered clinically significant improvements in mental health.

In our blog this week, Professor Miles Richardson talks about the Nature Connectedness Research Group, and the research that has informed the work of several leading nature conservation organisations as well as the 2021 Mental Health Awareness Week's research report and policy briefing.

During the restrictions to control the coronavirus pandemic, the nation's mental wellbeing suffered, and people turned to nature . At the same time, the natural world is also in crisis - the warming climate and loss of wildlife show that the relationship between people and the rest of nature is failing .

In association with The Mental Health Foundation (as well as with other organisations including the National Trust and the Wildlife Trusts) the Nature Connectedness Research Group has been applying its research to actively build new relationships with nature. We found that a closer connection with nature can boost the wellbeing of both people and the natural world - challenging current models of wellbeing, with important implications for policy.

The evidence - why our relationship with nature matters

'Nature connectedness' refers to the way we relate to and experience nature. A strong connection with nature means feeling a close relationship or an emotional attachment to our natural surroundings. It is grounded in scientific study and is measurable. Our research found:

People's nature connectedness, rather than contact with nature, predicts a sense that life is worthwhile that is nearly four times larger than the increase associated with higher socio-economic status.

During the restrictions to control the pandemic, increases in was linked to higher wellbeing than increases in visiting nature.

Simply noticing 'the good things in nature' brings sustained benefits to mental wellbeing, with clinically significant improvements for people with common mental health problems.

When measured alongside nature connection and noticing nature, time in nature uniquely explained just 1% of happiness, a worthwhile life, and higher wellbeing.

Wider research across 18 countries shows that in the UK we visit nature much less than people in other countries. Our connection to nature is also much lower than elsewhere. There's a causal link between nature connectedness and pro-nature behaviours, so nature connectedness is an essential target to foster for increased wellbeing.

Actions - for a new relationship with nature

Forging a new relationship with nature can lead to happier and more fulfilled people and also a thriving environment. P laces where people have higher engagement with green spaces foster more equal wellbeing . However, in order to build this relationship, we need policies that enable people to connect with nature.

Nature doesn't have a 'part-time' role in wellbeing so we must go beyond occasional access and visits to nature, and engaging people through facts and figures. The research evidence tells us we can build a new relationship by creating an environment that fosters the 'pathways to nature connectedness':

This has a number of broad implications for policy. We need to actively:

Foster a culture of connecting with nature - from an arts policy that celebrates nature, to nature connectedness being a standard metric for wellbeing.

Use biodiversity to unite the wellbeing of people and nature by bringing nature recovery networks into urban areas for an abundance of wildlife to notice.

Improve access for connection - moving beyond simple access to creating 'habitats for connection', providing meaningful engagement with nature on everyone's doorstep.

Design urban spaces around the pathways to nature connectedness, to prompt people to notice, engage and care for nature.

Build a life-long relationship with nature - addressing the 'teenage dip' by bringing nature into secondary schools and ensuring adults understand the value of nature for keeping well.

You could count non-governmental eco-centres in Slovakia on one hand. The only one in the eastern part of the country is located in Kostoľany nad Hornádom, eleven kilometres from Košice. A married couple, Mr and Mrs Szabo have been working here since 2008 on alternative forms of education in the field of cultivation, natural garden design, herb processing, environmental education and self-sufficiency. Moreover, their civic association SOSNA has existed for 28 years. How can one spend time in their eco-centre?
Climate garden

In 2008, the civic association SOSNA managed to acquire land behind the primary school in Kostoľany nad Hornádom. Throughout several years of activity by the members of the association, volunteers and enthusiasts, they built a large international certified garden that uses natural materials. Their design solutions are supposed to react to climate change as a necessary response to human intervention, as Silvia Szaboová, the co-founder of the association, explains: "The building next to our natural garden is insulated with straw, sheep wool, technical hemp. Such a design doesn't aggravate the effects of human or industrial activity, rather it reduces them. The use of these materials has a positive effect on climate change, it helps against floods or drought. We were one of the first ones to focus on the permaculture cultivation of natural gardens in Slovakia - they can be described as those not used for production but which adapt to their surroundings. It is useful and prosperous not only for humans but also for birds and soil animals. That is why we regularly organize courses on the creation of climate gardens for the public."

From tramp movements to lecturing

The SOSNA civic association was established 28 years ago as one of the first non-governmental organizations in the country. Silvia claims that the vision was to build a space where their customers could come to and try out the solutions for real. 2 employees, 5 external lecturers, and about 20 volunteers lead courses and lectures on growing and processing herbs. Our customers are often private homeowners who want to choose a new alternative to the natural garden or school facilities which want to make different use of their premises and teach outdoors as well. When the Szabo family founded a civic association almost 30 years ago, they were part of the tramp movement and often roamed around the mountains and forests. "Our dream was to arrange our lives in a way that would be self-employed and at the same time, focus on something we like. I always wanted to teach and here it came true. I am a lecturer and I teach other people everything we have learned about permaculture. We want to show others that they can create something truly useful. And something that can also save the environment."

About 35 people can fit in a Hobbit house

In addition to the construction of a large garden, the eco-centre also owns an exceptional rarity - a Hobbit house where art courses, screenings, lectures, and even music concerts are regularly held. Surprisingly, over 30 people can fit in this small house. The clay floor is decorated with mandalas made of cracked tiles from the local ceramics shop, which were created by students from the Secondary Art School in Košice. In addition, the front clay wall of the house includes a solar heating system - a black painted wall with vents heats the incoming air and subsequently the room behind the wall. Energy alternatives are, therefore, one of the other options that can be learned in SOSNA. Surprisingly, when they took measurements in winter, the outdoor temperature of -6 ° C was transformed through sun rays into 18 ° C in the house.

Linking disciplines & therapeutic gardens

SOSNA organizes spring and autumn festivals several times a year, as well as natural and artistic social festivals and the well-known travel festival Iné cesty. Silvia emphasizes that over time, their focus has expanded to a number of different disciplines: "We do not only care about the environment and ecological alternatives. We frequently organize events including art and culture because we believe that the interconnection of disciplines often brings unexpected results. For example, we held various storytelling workshops to bring telling stories back to people. It is an activity that supports communication, imagination, inner values. This is also related to the use of natural gardens as a form of art therapy. A stay in the so-called therapeutic gardens is in many countries of Europe reimbursed by the state. In this way, people with physical difficulties, but also mental disorders and diseases such as depression or ADHD are treated here. They calm down, touch things from natural materials and create art pieces. They experience something concrete and abstract at the same time, which helps them to improve their condition."

"I love finding out new things. I gather information from all kinds of sources and I refuse to live in the last century. I enjoy life as it is and as we have made it. Between choosing a good and a less beneficial thing, no one can stop me from pursuing the one that does not have a negative impact on the environment. We still want to move forward and after 30 years we have gone through many stages. I want to know what is coming up next."

Solar dryer made with windows

Eco-centre SOSNA collaborates with several Košice organizations that work with children, as well as potters, dancers, and musicians. The eco-centre owns a clay furnace for ceramics or even bread and pizza. There are garden beds with sage, amaranth, chives, mint and dozens of other herbs. The maintenance of a natural garden requires a simulation of an environment in an uncontrolled nature. When mowing, for example, they do not mow everything - they leave plants of different lengths, avoid right angles so that the flowers can cope with moisture and prevent drought. In addition to solar heating, they have made a solar dryer in the garden, which uses the same principle as a hobbit house for heating. The owners of the centre try to use every unused, waste material for something new - this dryer, for example, is made of old windows as individual drawers for drying.

Critical thinking and experience-based education

Activities dedicated to children, which focus on environmental education are a special category in SOSNA. This includes, for example, stone balancing, where children learn to work with balance or an outdoor playground, where they can play and climb on waste material such as shaft rings, old tires, logs. First of all, the main intention is to support independent thinking and work on formulating their own opinion: "We want to teach children to think for themselves and we support their critical thinking, decision-making. They need to understand that they have to get rid of presumptions to satisfy their parents, principal or other role models. We show them that the most important thing is to believe in your own judgment and make the right decision. The children relax in our centre, play in the dirt and leave dirty but happ y. I call it a pure joy - some people do not let themselves experience such emotions because of the environment or expectations. Our children have contact with nature - it is something that is slowly disappearing and we are trying to return them to this world," says Silvia.

Come to explore Košice and its invisible hidden treasures. The Invisible Hotel rooms are situated just 11 kilometres from the SOSNA Eco-centre.

My name is Andrea Warwick and I'm a class teacher at Oughterside Foundation School. We are a small rural school in Cumbria with 80 pupils and our school field looks out across the Cumbrian Fells. Predominantly Skiddaw :)

I have taught across school, mainly in Early Years, but this year I have been enjoying teaching Crummock class which is Y3/4 and will be teaching this class next year also.

My favorite place where I live is the beach. I love the freedom of the open space, listening to the waves crash on the shore and the bird tweeting, and watching all the creatures hard at work whilst I'm enjoying my walk. I also like walking around the village as its also a hive of activity with birds etc.

This is a photo of our school field. I will try and take some photographs to upload for tomorrow.

V rámci skúmania areálu našej školy a hľadania miest, ktoré u žiakov vyvolávali pozitívne a príjemné pocity sme sa so žiakmi jednoznačne zhodli na vysokých a silných stromoch, ktorých je v areáli našej školy pomerne veľa.

Hi. My name is Bibiana. I live in Budimír. Budimír is a large village between Košice and Prešov. Budimír is a perfect place of history (park, 2 mansions, 3 churches, granary, manor and house house with sundial), but also today (school, new housing estate, ..). I teach at a primary school in Budimír. The school has more than 400 students. I teach all subjects in the first grade. Together (teachers, students and parents) we transform the garden of our school into a place of relaxation, learning and play. I like to teach outside the classroom - in the garden, in the park, by the forest, ... We are involved in the Green School project. My favorite place in the school garden is the herb bed. Because we can sit on it and relax.

Dobrý deň, voláme sa Andrea a Martina a sme učiteľky na Základnej škole Mateja Lechkého v Košiciach na sídlisku KVP. Máme to šťastie, že vo vonkajších priestoroch máme veľkú školskú záhradu, ktorú by sme radi viac využívali na miestne zakotvené učenie. Práve preto sme sa zapojili do projektu PLACE. Dúfame, že vytvoríme priestor, kde budú radi chodiť aj naši žiaci a aktívne sa zapoja spoznávania a pretvárania ich blízkeho prostredia

Nastala zima. Aby vtáčiky nehladovali, práci vyrobili pre nich kŕmidlá a vyvesili ich v našej Dedkovej záhrade.
