“For more than 30 years, science has gathered incredible knowledge about the benefits that connecting with nature has on our health and well-being. We believe that it is urgent today to integrate this knowledge and to put it into practice: in schools, in hospitals, the workplace and with disadvantaged people, nature should benefit all levels of society. If we want to pursue the quest of progress without paying a human and environmental price that would render this very progress useless, we can no longer forget our connection with nature.”
This is the mission of the University in Nature, initially created in Quebec and active since 2021 in Luxembourg.
IMS Luxembourg invites you to slow down for a (re)connection to nature with Julie Schadeck, the general coordinator. The event offers the opportunity to go back to the source of the complex relationships that link individuals to nature. It is also an opportunity to explore why it is important to preserve these relationships for the well-being of each individual and for a prosperous society.
