Nature-based learning has gained significant traction in both Brazilian and American educational systems as a response to increased screen time and indoor lifestyles. In Brazil, it aligns with growing environmental consciousness and sustainability initiatives, particularly in São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. In the USA, this approach reflects the forest school movement originating from Scandinavia and has become increasingly popular in progressive educational circles. Both cultures view this methodology as promoting not only academic learning but also emotional well-being, environmental stewardship, and physical health.
