Preschools’ learning environment for well-being and recovery

This practical project wishes, in collaboration between staff at preschools and researchers, to establish an exchange of experience and knowledge with a focus on how pulse-raising activities and rest can contribute to preschool children’s recovery in the preschool environment.

The goal is to investigate which activities and artefacts in the learning environment for preschool children that offer recovery through rest and pulse-raising activities. In the long term, knowledge about this is expected to contribute to a mental and physical health balance in the children.

The project seeks to answer the following questions:

Which learning environments, artefacts and activities in preschools’ learning environment - in the form of rest and pulse-raising activities - do the staff describe as contributing to the children''s well-being
What ideas do the children have about which learning environments, artefacts and activities – in the form of rest and pulse-raising activities – that can contribute to their well-being?
What changes in the learning environment, through artefacts or activities, can contribute to the children’s well-being?
How can the staff make the children aware of how different learning environments can contribute to recovery?
