OUTDOOR LEARNING AND PLAY KARTONIERT (TB)

This Open Access book examines children's participation in dialectical reciprocity with
place-based institutional practices by presenting empirical research from Australia  Brazil 
China  Poland  Norway and Wales. Underpinned by cultural-historical theory  the analysis
reveals how outdoors and nature form unique conditions for children's play  formal and informal
learning and cultural formation. The analysis also surfaces how inequalities exist in societies
and communities  which often limit and constrain families' and children's access to and
participation in outdoor spaces and nature. The findings highlight how institutional practices
are shaped by pedagogical content  teachers' training  institutional regulations and societal
perceptions of nature  children and suitable  sustainable education for young children. Due to
crises  such as climate change and the recent pandemic  specific focus on the outdoors and
nature in cultural formation is timely for the cultural-historical theoretical tradition. In
doing so  the book provides empirical and theoretical support for policy makers  researchers 
educators and families to enhance  increase and sustain outdoor and nature education.
