    Poznań természetközeli játszóterei

    Richard Louv „Az utolsó gyermek az erdőben" (The Last Child in the Woods) című könyvében a természettel való kapcsolat hiányának következményeit vizsgálja a gyermekeknél. Megállapítja, hogy a városokban élő gyermekek körülményeikből adódóan csak keveset játszhatnak szabadon a természetben, ami rossz hatással van a szellemi fejlődésükre, a koncentrációs képességükre, a mozgáskoordinációjukra és a fizikai állapotukra. A természetközeli játszóterek megoldást kínálnak erre a problémára.

  • “Trabajamos para que las entidades locales accedan y gestionen directamente los fondos europeos”

    Gema Rodríguez es la jefa del Área de Desarrollo Sostenible de la Federación Española de Municipios y Provincias (FEMP). Será una de las ponentes en las jornadas ‘Transferencias Urbanas’ organizadas por el Punto Nacional URBACT y el Ayuntamiento de Madrid los próximos días 7 y 8 de septiembre.
