IAKS Nordic webinar on 28 September: Thinking outside the classroom - recording available

On 28 September 2023, IAKS Nordic invited researchers and practitioners from Denmark and Norway to share latest knowledge on schoolyard design. Over 300 participants from around the world followed the invitation and can now “think outside the classroom” thanks to the key takeaways provided in the webinar. The recording is available for free for IAKS members.

In a swiftly changing world marked by reduced outdoor play and physical activity amongst children a shift in the design of our schoolyards has become essential. One can argue that the schoolyard is the most important arena for promoting mental and physical health in children, as it reaches out to all children, despite social economic status, gender and inequalities.
