Walk in the forest
The rural infrastructure with nature and animals creates conditions for the development of new types of activities aimed at promoting health among the population. The overall aim of this project is to investigate structural conditions for the development of new innovative solutions, in order to offer and implement nature-based interventions (NBI).
Traditionally, health promotion interventions are usually implemented in created indoor environments such as hospitals, nursing homes and other institutions. Evidence shows that NBI enables health promotion interventions outdoors, in new places and in new environments, with a positive effect on well-being, reduced stress levels, positive social effects for vulnerable groups outside society and the labor market and for work integration. NBI is also considered a cost-effective rehabilitation intervention.
The project is based on the Nordic NaBS project, is funded by the Kamprad Foundation, and runs from 22-09-01 to 25-08-31.
