Sustainable life skills, nature-based interventions for at-risk youth in Norway 
In this talk I will tell you about my PhD project on nature-based interventions for at risk youth in Norway. I am a psychologist from Denmark, doing my PhD in social work in Norway, and very happy to be visiting geography here at Oxford. I am doing a multi-site case study of existing nature-based interventions in Norway, where I conduct participatory observations and interviews with participants (age 12-30) and practitioners. Additionally, I am currently working on a scoping review where I attempt to map the field of nature-based interventions for at-risk youth in Denmark, Norway and Sweden (including literature in English, Danish, Norwegian and Swedish). I will be sharing preliminary findings from my project, theoretical considerations and practical implications.
