- Abstract
- Looking back at the past generations, a growing alienation to nature has occurred.

With this being my aim, I further explore in which ways children can get in touch their local environment to reduce the alienation that has occurred. Giving children a place of creation, from physical to imaginative, incites a stronger bond to the area of which they live. The theories used in this thesis are based on experience-based learning, alienation from nature and how we can communicate or should communicate climate change with children. Experiencing the world through their senses gives a deeper internalized perception of the experience, whether it be holding a worm, hearing the bees or planting a seed. (Less)
