The films make it possible to introduce children to the deeper values of Nature even within the school setting. The Alamar Life images manage to instil calm, relaxation and an almost meditative state in even very young children.<\/div>\n

WELL-BEING IS LEARNED AT AN EARLY AGE.<\/div>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][vc_column][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]The further children are removed from the natural world, the more problems such as obesity, depression and bullying arise. (Stiffler, 2007). Nature deficit<\/em> can also cause attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. (Richard Louv, 2005)<\/p>\n

“Experience with Nature, real or reproduced, has psychological and physiological regenerative effects.”<\/strong> (Berto, 2014; Barbiero & Berto, 2016).<\/p>\n

In their latest study, Rita Berto and Giuseppe Barbiero (Affective Ecology Laboratory<\/em><\/a>) measured the importance of biophilic classrooms, spaces in which to recreate contact with Nature, to support the learning process and strengthen the bond with the natural environment in children aged 6 to 11. The children, on average, improved their performance by 30%.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Our research has shown that contact with Nature has a regenerative power of the child’s sustained direct attention capacity and improves his or her empathic qualities. Contact with Nature seems necessary<\/strong>, especially when pupils are confined to closed learning environments”.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”8772″ img_size=”700×500″ style=”vc_box_rounded”][vc_column_text]Source: Barbiero et al.

\nIt also reduces marginalisation and bullying, generating well-being and cohesion in the classroom.<\/p>\n

The sense of peace conveyed by Nature acts simultaneously on a physical, mental, emotional and spiritual level, helping children, young people and adults to find their own balance and recognise Nature as an ally for a life in harmony.<\/p>\n

“The quantity and quality of the experiences a child has with the natural world during childhood play an important role not only in shaping the child’s ability to respond to cognitive, affective and behavioural demands from the environment, but above all on his or her psychophysical well-being<\/em>.<\/strong><\/span>“<\/span> (Berto, 2016)[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][vc_column][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][vc_column][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
