About SILVIVA

“Learning in and with the natural world” is sustainable learning which promotes understanding the relationship between humans and non-human nature. Since 1985, SILVIVA has been enabling education providers to connect nature and learning effectively with an evidence-based approach: strategically, methodically, and conceptually. Innovative projects such as “Forester’s World”, “Teaching Outdoors” and the “CAS Nature-Based Environmental Education“ ground high-quality teaching and learning theory in practice. The foundation is an official partner of the Swiss Federal Office for the Environment and has a national mandate to promote environmental education as a state-approved centre of excellence, as well as being well connected and widely recognised internationally. The SILVIVA team provides expertise, disseminates specialist knowledge, builds networks, and promotes the long term development of competencies for a sustainable Switzerland.
