To some, Nature is a teacher. To others, it is an inscrutable wilderness. But to all, Nature is
the benefactor of material wealth, environmental security and aesthetic and spiritual
inspiration. This dynamic, however, is threatened. As species loss and climate change
accelerate in the Anthropocene, the capacity of the biosphere to provide dwindles.
Sustaining the human-nature relationship in a rapidly-changing environment therefore calls
for new perspectives, lively dialogues and engaged action.

The School of Nature is founded on the idea that an in-depth study of Nature holds a key to
building a more resilient world. It is built for those who care about pressing environmental
issues and want to contribute to meaningful change. We aim to engage passion and
empower people with the thinking and skills to make positive societal change, from the
design of sustainable technologies to the building of vibrant urban ecosystems. Our Mission,
in short, is to provoke thought and inspire future-oriented action through Nature-based
learning.

The School offers lectures and hands-on learning for topics relating to all aspects of the
human-nature relationship, with a special focus on emerging solutions that build a
sustainability and resilient world.
