Abstract

The way cities grow and expand has a huge impact on what we leave to our children. Today,
urban challenges require projects and actions focusing on practices that integrate sustainable
development into urban planning.
This study examines the potential of green spaces within Alnarp Park, to promote outdoor
learning for children aged 6–12, focusing on teaching biodiversity and sustainability, and
aligned with the Swedish school curriculum.
The work combines different methods including literature review, and an overview of Alnarp
Park together with maps and features, observation, field notes and informal interviews that
also identified five spots that are suitable for outdoor learning.
In summary, this study aims to evaluate how green areas can serve as a space for
environmental education, further highlighting the potential of learning trails within Alnarp
Park, inspiring environmental awareness among children and recognizing their role in
shaping the future.
