Today’s engineering and technological developments are inconceivable without specialists with excellent scientific knowledge. But how can today’s young people be interested in science? In our opinion, this is no longer possible with traditional methods, practice- oriented experiential pedagogy is needed for this, preferably in a natural environment. But what can a downtown school do if it wants to hold a science class outside the school building? We are looking for the answer to this in our study. Keywords: out-of-school teaching, downtown schools, science, environmental education.

  • Squatting My Mind – Towards an Architectural Ecosophy
    163 ISSN: 1755-068 www.field-journal.org vol.4 (1) Squatting My Mind – Towards an Architectural Ecosophy Catharina Gabrielsson Understanding ecology as “a widely-drawn category that encompasses objects and ideas, organic species and their habitats, inseparably linked 1 Andrew Ballantyne, Architecture together”,1 ecology clearly involves architecture on countless levels, by far Theory: a Reader in Philosophy and Culture (London, New York: exceeding the parameters of sustainable building technology that dominate Continuum, 2005) p. 36. conceptions of this field. Primarily addressing the ‘mental ecology’ of architecture – that is, how architecture is thought and constructed within the discipline – this article furthers an understanding of how occupancy has the power to undo central architectural concepts. Such an undoing is seen as a prerequisite for what Félix Guattari has denoted ecosophy – the ethico-political articulation between the three, interconnected ecological registers: that of the environment, of social relations and the realm of ideas. Considered within an ecological intellectual framework, notions of resistance, spatial appropriation and indeterminacy in architecture are seen to evolve as steps along the way in the urgent task of re-writing architecture’s ontology. It points towards an architecture of shifts and additions, of re-uses and re-inventions; an architecture that generously permits a variety of uses and a continuous production of meaning. 164 www.field-journal.org vol.4 (1) Fig 1.

Shortly after the financial crisis struck London in the autumn of 2008, newspapers were flooded with reports on how a group of artists had invaded an empty eighteenth century property in Mayfair and had opened it to the public as a “non-hierarchical centre for knowledge and learning”, called ‘Temporary School of Thought.’ During a few winter months, in a neighbourhood dominated by embassies and offices, the house at No.

  • Nez Perce (Nee-Me-Poo) National Historic Trail Progress Report
    United States Department of Agriculture Nez Perce (Nee-Me-Poo) National Historic Trail Progress Report Fall 2019 Administrator ’s Corner I asked our partners why they felt so passionately about our work. They said that they learned more about the Nez Perce (Nee-Me-Poo) National Historic Trail (NPNHT) and Nez Perce culture in our interpretative and educational materials than they did in all their years in school. I totally agreed. Through our posters, desk planners, interpretive signs, brochures, website, videos, presentations, and progress reports our work is designed to give people today and future generations a broader and more holistic understanding of the history and living culture of our treasured NPNHT. Our educational outreach connects with thousands of students, teachers, longtime residents, tribal youth, visitors, and people from countries outside the United States every year. Our work together is just beginning! We are looking forward to another year of excitement and discovery on the Trail and Auto Tour Route. This means our ambitious plans for the federal fiscal year can be a reality with your continued support. Thank you for recognizing your own legacy- U.S. Forest Service photo U.S. Forest Service “The NPNHT.” You are a part of our goal of being a part of this Sandra Broncheau-McFarland, at important generational change.

  • Introducing Light Pollution Through Nature Trails
    Vol. 10, No. 3, 2020 pp. 129-146 http://doi.org/10.24368/jates.v10i3.192 18 129 Journal of Applied Technical and Educational Sciences jATES ISSN 2560-5429 http://jates.org Introducing light pollution through nature trails Éva Fodor a aEszterházy Károly University, 3300 Eger, Eszterházy square 1., [email protected] Abstract This study aims to present possible options for introducing light pollution through nature trails to the citizens. The first part of the study grants a general introduction about light pollution by explaining the concept, forms and sources of the phenomenon; as well as by describing possible ways of its reduction and prevention. The second part gives a summary about nature trails, based on general and certain special characteristics of the facilities. The goal of the third part is twofold: presenting possible ways of introducing light pollution through nature trails, as well as examining the different types of trails that might be appropriate for introducing the topic to the visitors. Keywords: environmental education; light pollution; nature trail. 1. Introduction Light pollution is considered as one of the least noticeable, but at the same time the most widespread environmental hazard caused by human acts (Sciezor, 2019). It is a serious international concern: according to the World Atlas of Artificial Night Sky Brightness (2016) 80 percent of the world’s population lives under skyglow, which prevents people from experiencing a natural night (https://www.darksky.org/light-pollution/). Based on the aforementioned facts, it is important to inform citizens about the complex phenomenon and reduction of light pollution.

  • 0832-6193 an Ecophilosophy Approach, the Deep Ecology Move- Ment and Diverse Ecosophies
    Trumpeter (1997) ISSN: 0832-6193 An Ecophilosophy Approach, the Deep Ecology Move- ment and Diverse Ecosophies Alan Rike Drengson Trumpeter An Ecophilosophy Approach, the Deep Ecology Movement and Diverse Ecosophies 2 FRANK TROCCO was an expedition guide and director for 38 semesters with the National Audubon Society Expedition Insti- tute. Currently working on a Ph.D. in the Social Studies of Sci- ence, he teaches science at Lesley College and Vermont College. The Trumpeter's mission is to pursue and present ecosophies. "Ecosophy" was introduced by Arne Naess in 1972 in an ecophilosophy talk given at a conference in Eastern Europe on the future of research. He coined the word from two ancient Greek roots, ecos - meaning home place, and sophia - meaning wisdom. Naess used the term to refer to any articulated philosophy of life in harmony with ecocentric values. Pursuing an ecosophy is searching for ecologically wise and harmonious living. There are multitudes of diverse ecosophies. Ecosophies are often elaborated through an existing ultimate philosophy such as Buddhism or Taoism, or they can be premised on pure normative principles and elaborated through philosophical analysis. Naess calls his own ecosophy, Ecosophy T. It is deeply influenced by Norwegian friluftsliv (a movement to experience living in the outdoors, see Trumpeter, Spr 97, p. 93f), Gandhian nonviolence, Mahayana Buddhism and Spinozan pantheism. The T stands for Tvergastein, Naess' mountain hut in Norway, where much of Ecosophy T was worked out. A basic norm in Naess' Ecosophy T is self realization! - for all beings. In his ecophilosophy framework for cross cultural analysis of grass roots social- political movements, Naess distinguishes between four levels of discourse (see the chart below).

Remember, one needs at least as much fluid in winter as Pow Wow in Lapwai, ID. in summer. One should preferably drink water to stay hydrated and warm in the winter. During the past year, the programs, events, and trail work have enriched the lives of many school children and hundreds of community members, through meaningful and engaging exhibits, open houses, and youth programs.
