NATURE SUPPORTS LEARNING<\/span><\/h3>\n

A growing body of research shows that contact with Nature\u2014whether direct or experienced through high-quality audiovisual representations\u2014can support children’s attention, emotional regulation and psychophysical well-being.<\/p>\n

Research by Rita Berto<\/strong> and Giuseppe Barbiero<\/strong> on biophilic classrooms, conducted at the Affective Ecology Laboratory<\/strong><\/a>, has shown that re-establishing a daily relationship with Nature in school environments can significantly improve learning processes.<\/p>\n

Experiencing Nature, either directly or through representation, produces restorative psychological and physiological effects.<\/h5>\n

A RESOURCE FOR GROWTH<\/span><\/h3>\n

Integrated continuously into school life, Alamar Life videos can accompany moments of welcome, concentration, relaxation and educational activities, helping to create a calmer, more collaborative environment that supports learning.<\/p>\n

Nature thus becomes a daily presence that supports emotional balance, enhances attention and strengthens children\u2019s relationship with the world around them.<\/p>\n

Our research has shown that contact with Nature has a restorative effect on children\u2019s ability to sustain directed attention and improves their empathic qualities. Contact with Nature appears to be essential, especially when students are confined to indoor learning environments.<\/h5>\n

    THE FIRST EXPERIENCES IN SCHOOLS<\/h3>\n

    The Alamar Life audiovisual method has been experimentally introduced in nursery schools on Elba Island and in Piedmont, Italy.<\/p>\n

    The applications were carried out in different educational contexts, yet teachers reported consistent observations.<\/p>\n

    Viewing the videos offered children a daily moment of connection with Nature, fostering greater calm, attention and collaboration.<\/p>\n
