On nature and child development
“I learned a lot during this COIL project. It was really inspiring to see how a different country, not so far away from the Netherlands, could have such different perspectives on playground and nature. Let alone different thoughts about the work field itself. For example hearing that children just sleep outside during daycare. In Amsterdam that would not be possible. Also to see how important nature and outdoor play is in Oslo compared to Amsterdam makes me realise to take nature and outdoor play seriously. I have realized during this project that nature is a very important subject when it comes to the development of a child”

On risky play
“I learned that we have different things that we experience as risky. Such as, we are used to be lightning fires with the children, but we are skeptical about water, while the other students experienced water as a low risk, since that is what they were used to while fires were scary to them”
