In a world that is increasingly urbanized, people are stressed and disconnected from nature. But "We need nature in our lives”, to improve our psycho-physical health and that of the planet.

A solution is Green Care. Green Care refers to a range of activities that promotes physical, mental and social health and well-being through contact with nature.

In this course, you will take a journey to the fascinating world of Green Care. You will examine the academic theory, and get familiar with practices, opportunities and innovation on the ground. You will understand the emerging trends in Green Care markets and will be guided to identify problems that you feel driven to solve.

The course is delivered within the Erasmus+ KA project Green4Care by the University of Padova in collaboration with the University of Brasov (Romania) and Dublin (Ireland). Other partners, both public and private, participate in the activities - with webinars, live discussions, videos, and other material. External participants (e.g. entrepreneurs, interested people) are allowed to enroll.
