Interpreting, learning and being with natureculture

SCNI is a meeting place for people with curiosity for knowledge and passion for contributing to increased understanding of the relationship between people, nature and our cultural landscapes.

This symposium stems from the Nature Interpretation Lab, a result from our collaboration with the research program Mistra Environmental Communication.

Nature interpreters have always worked in diverse contexts, and often act as brokers between these contexts. We see great needs and potentials for integrating research to a higher degree with the practice of nature interpretation as it will lead to important collaborations guided by shared visions, and dealing with common challenges.

With inspiring presentations and interactive thematic workshops, the symposium will be the perfect occasion for researchers and practitioners to learn together through practical cases.
