Anna is a preschool teacher and specialist teacher in science and mathematics, serving students up to the age of 16. She has worked as a teacher for more than 25 years and the last ten years as education adviser at Naturskolan (The Nature School) in Lund, Sweden.

Naturskolan offers teachers in Lund ways to explore and develop different methods of teaching science and education for sustainable development (ESD) primarily using outdoor education in the community. The staff at Naturskolan strongly encourage use of the school grounds for learning. Everything Naturskolan offers is based on the Swedish National curriculum. Naturskolan (Nature School) is not a school with students. We act as a source of inspiration and support for all schools and pre-schools in the Lund area.

Naturskolan is acting in the centre of the Green School Grounds network, which is a long-term commitment that has been made for the transformation of the appearance and function of school grounds existing within the Lund Educational Authority. It is our strongly held belief that school grounds should be viewed as:

– A pedagogical resource that stimulate and encourage creativity.
– An expression of the school’s interaction with and interest in the natural world.
– Largely unrestricted areas that cater for different needs. Areas for physical exercise, socialisation areas, places to relax and unwind and areas that offer more excitement are all requirements that should be taken into consideration in the planning of school grounds.
– Diverse learning environments that demonstrate the various functions of the natural ecosystem.

National, Anna is also advisor for the Swedish National Agency for Education (Skolverket) in developing methods for teaching science outdoors.

International, Anna is a leadership council member of International School Ground Alliance, ISGA. ISGA is a global network of organizations and professionals, working to enrich children’s learning and play by improving the way school grounds are designed and used.
