“…Un organismo che attraverso la dimensione sensoriale contribuisce all'esperienza cosciente di un sé come un corpo che agisce (Gallese, 2009). In questo campo anche il tema del dialogo verbale è importante come strumento principale della nostra comunicazione e del nostro apprendimento ma, come delineano alcuni recenti studi (Endres, 2011;Holmes, Goodall, 2017) anche come archivio scientifico in grado di costituire una fonte attendibile per la ricostruzione delle storie dei luoghi, laddove la documentazione scritta non fosse sufficiente (Gimmi, Burgi, 2007) Per una storia della pedagogia ecologica Nella storia della pedagogia per l'infanzia si può tracciare un itinerario che mette in relazione l'importanza dello stare nell'ambiente naturale come manifestazione della libertà dell'uomo (Cambi, 1995). Nel mondo antico dei Greci e Romani, lo stare all'aperto era considerato fat-tore fondamentale per una mens sana, così come nell'impostazione umanistica dei Gonzaga e l'esperienza di Cà Gioiosa con Vittorino Da Feltre nel primo rinascimento (Woodward, 1897).…”

In alcune scuole si sta investendo molto sull’esperienza di apprendimento negli spazi aperti, a contatto con la natura. Il moltiplicarsi di offerte formative all’aria aperta, complementari alla scuola e alla classica gita, indicano una sempre maggiore consapevolezza dell’importanza del paesaggio naturale non solo come luogo del benessere ma anche come spazio educativo, in cui il corpo stesso diviene mezzo di apprendimento in quanto vivo e sensoriale, che arricchisce e completa la classica didattica in aula. Comparando alcune iniziative localizzate dell’ambito costiero nord Adriatico con esperienze nord europee più radicali si vogliono delineare nuove possibilità progettuali, in cui l’educazione all’ecologia attraverso l’esperienza del fare, del dialogare e del vivere nella natura, pone nuovi interrogativi progettuali ancora poco esplorati nei nostri territori.

“…In Telling Environmental Histories, Katie Holmes and Heather Goodall note that oral history aids environmental history by examining the "intimate relationships between people and place, between individual and cultural memory, and their webs of connection with the natural world." 27 In this volume, we further highlight the value of oral history with work by researchers -Anderson, Evans, Fraser and McKinnon -who do not define their work as 'environmental history' but who nonetheless reveal individual accounts that complicate, challenge or disprove dominant rhetoric, offering a nuanced understanding of human and non-human inter-relationships.…”

“…The Herbaria 3.0 project draws on the critical understanding within environmental studies of the importance of narrative and storytelling for fostering a sense of place (Tooth and Renshaw 2009) and a connection and commitment to local and global environments and nonhuman beings (Lin and Li 2018;Satterfield and Slovic 2004;Basso 1996). Environmental narratives can convey complex environmental information (Anderson 2017;Lejano et al 2013,), serve important memorial functions (Holmes and Goodall 2017), and preserve at-risk environmental/cultural histories (Arnold 2018). Further, the explosion of social media and other digital platforms in recent years has opened spaces for imaginative and creative engagement with both science and the natural world in digital spaces, which has in turn created an opening for citizen environmental humanities (Benmayor 2008).…”

Public engagement in crowd-sourced science projects such as iNaturalist or the Audubon Christmas Bird Count is a long-established practice within environmental studies and sciences. As a corollary to these “citizen science” efforts, “citizen humanities” engages public participation in humanities research and/or with humanities tools such as creative writing, photography, art-making, or conducting and recording interviews. In this essay, we outline our work creating a citizen environmental humanities website, Herbaria 3.0, including our motivations, process, and theoretical underpinnings. This project draws upon the critical understanding within environmental studies of the importance of narrative and storytelling for fostering a connection and commitment to environments and nonhuman beings. Situated within the field of environmental humanities, our website solicits, collects, and archives stories about the manifold relationships between plants and people, inviting visitors to read, share, or write their own story for digital publication. The kind of environmental storytelling that results, we argue, can (1) enrich our conceptualization of attachment to places, (2) expand our notion of what “counts” as an encounter with nature, and (3) help us recognize the agency of individual plants. We conclude that similar citizen humanities projects are crucial to the ongoing work of environmental humanities and environmental studies at large, for it is through such public engagement that we can meet the cultural challenges that seeded, and the societal problems occasioned by, ongoing climate change.
