MINDSCAPE Summit
“Study nature, love nature, stay close to nature. It will never fail you.” Frank Lloyd Wright
The two days of MINDSCAPE, one at UL and another in Clarisford Park, explore the fusion of mind and landscape, and how our emotions change spaces to places. Our unique relationship to nature, our connectivity to forests, rivers, lakes, parks, trees and waterscapes will be discussed in terms of cutting-edge reserach and innovative practice. We address the opportunities that interacting with nature can have for health, well-being and increased environmental awareness, with lessons for policy-makers, practitioners and those engaged in the promotion of outdoor activity.
What is the theme?
The theme of this second MINDSCAPE summit is ‘Woodlands for health to tranquility on the Blueway’ and it aims to share and discuss practice and innovation in this space with particular experiences drawn from case studies, world leading research and personal narratives.
What is the format of the Event?
The two-day conference will also include a series of presentations from practice based experience in engaging with citizen led science and communities followed by a panel and audience led discussion on addressing benefits, challenges and needs for such engagement. A range of fora will be employed to maximise the interactions including our outstanding keynotes, interactive sessions, Table-Top discussions, Walk n’Talks, and Elevator Pitches from different stakeholders.
