Theme: Going Out wild!

The consequences of climate change and the loss of nature depend on the actions we take today. We must be able to respond to the growing concern among children and young people about the state of our living environment. Schools, daycare centers, and youth work need new kinds of solutions to build a desirable future. Planetary well-being, fusion pedagogy, diverse nature as a learning environment, and environmental citizenship are the main themes of the 2026 event.

The event program will examine the theme of Going Out Wild from four different perspectives:

  1. Wild in nature: diverse nature, the human relationship with nature
  2. Wild in the city: urban environments and social influence
  3. Wild pedagogy: different pedagogical solutions and combining them
  4. Too wild? The well-being effects of nature, as well as safety and risks
