THE IMPORTANCE OF BIOPHILIC CLASSROOMS<\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n

To improve learning and empathy in children, conventional classrooms need to be made similar to natural environments.<\/h4>\n

[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”6px”][vc_column_text]Text taken from Giuseppe Barbiero and Rita Berto’s article “The School that listens to the Mountain,”<\/a> contained in the catalog of the Exhibition “The Mountain Touch,” National Mountain Museum-Turin, 04\/11\/2022-02\/04\/2023[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_empty_space height=”62px”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

“Biophilia is our innate predisposition to establish an emotional connection with the living world<\/strong>. It comprises a set of attitudes, emotions and values that, taken together, constitute our relationship with Nature.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Biophilia is present in all children, but is often neither stimulated nor supported<\/strong> because children live indoors in totally artificial urban settings where Nature is invisible or even absent.<\/span><\/div>\n

Conventional classrooms are artificial spaces that do not stimulate biophilia<\/strong>; on the contrary, they interrupt Nature’s fascination with children and, in the long run, inhibit their biophilia.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
In order for children to enjoy continuous contact with Nature, even when confined indoors, a biophilic redesign of the environments is first necessary to make them as similar as possible to learning environments in Nature<\/strong>.<\/span><\/div>\n

The greatest regenerative effects and the increased involvement of pupils in biophilic designed<\/em> learning environments are likely to be attributed to the fascination that Nature, real and\/or reproduced, exerts on pupils. <\/span><\/strong><\/h5>\n

Biophilic designed<\/em> learning environments ensure continuity in contact with Nature.<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Continuous and long-lasting contact with Nature enables a deeper affiliation with Nature<\/strong>, not only in mountainous environments, but also in urbanised environments<\/strong>, and lays the foundation for pro-environmental behaviour as adults. “<\/span><\/div>\n
