Podcasts about friluftsliv

Bollspel som liknar träning i klubbar har varit vanligt inom skolidrotten, trots att det inte borde vara så. Och friluftsliv har fått stryka på foten. Men hur främjar man bäst alla barns lust att röra sig? Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. Vetenskapspodden åker till Örebro och träffar forskare vid universitetet där som ägnar sig åt idrottslärarutbildning. Jan Mustell har studerat bollspel, som länge verkar varit överrepresenterat vid skolans idrottslektioner, och ofta på sätt som exkluderar många. Men kanske håller något på att hända, visar hans avhandling. Karin Sjödin forskar på friluftsliv, som enligt styrdokumenten borde få mer utrymme, och som hon menar kan vara ett bra alternativ till rörelse för många, unga som gamla. Att hoppa över en bäck på en vandring och pausa när man känner sig lite trött kan passa vissa bättre än att pressa sig på idrottsplatsen. Dessutom hör vi om forskning kring hur världens alla urinoarer kunde stänka mindre. Medverkande: Jan Mustell och Karin Sjödin, båda universitetsadjunkter inom idrottsvetenskap, Örebro Universitet. Poddledare: Lena Nordlundlena.nordlund@sr.seProducent: Björn Gunérbjorn.guner@sr.se

Prototypen på en jeger og fisker er gjerne en kritthvit, godt voksen mann med lang erfaring, mye utstyr, har gjerne vokst opp et sted utenfor de store byene. Vi har utallige ganger snakket om at den tradisjonelle norske jegeren og fiskeren har all grunn til å være stolt. Men om samfunnet skal gi støtte til jakt og fiske i framtida må flere grupper rekrutteres inn. Heldigvis finnes det folk som årets villmarking, Amir Ranjbar! I studio hører du også Trond Gunnar Skillingstad (Statskog), Espen Farstad (NJFF) og Jo Inge Breisjøberget (Statskog). Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Last weekend brought snowfall across much of the United Kingdom, offering a clear sign that winter is here. Now with temperatures this low, the instinct for many of us may be to cuddle up in bed under a blanket. But the subject of today's episode is all about getting outdoors whatever the weather. Friluftsliv is a Norwegian term that more or less translates as “open-air living”. You could call it the outdoor equivalent of Denmark's hygge, which is all about finding comfort indoors. Indeed, Norway has strong outdoor traditions all year round, even when days are short during the winter. Friluftsliv is so ingrained in Norwegian culture that universities offer bachelor's degree courses in it, and it's protected by law through the Outdoors Recreation Act.  Where does it come from? What about us city dwellers? How can we embrace friluftsliv in our local area? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions! To listen to the latest episodes, click here: Can standing on one leg save your life?

In Scandinavia, daily interaction with nature has helped turn many people into passionate advocates for the environment. But there are forces at play in American society that divide humans from nature. To name just a few? Schools cut recess to make more time for academic instruction, cities boast sprawl over walkability, and our societal reverence for cleanliness prevents many Americans from getting outside and getting a little dirty. Best-selling author Linda McGurk was born in Sweden and, later, raised her own children in the US. Linda is on the show to highlight the ways in which the two cultures diverge with regard to interacting with and respecting the natural world; she also offers both the encouragement and the how-to to get outside in all weather. Here's a preview: [5:00] Nature isn't an essential part of childhood here in America. Why not? [18:00] Not competitive, not motorized, and 3 other ways adults prioritize the open-air life in Scandinavia [23:00] No such thing as bad weather? What about extreme, climate change-induced weather events? [28:00] Revisiting our very-American need to be comfortable at all times [32:00] American schools are slowly eliminating outdoor recess.

Friluftsliv, translated as "free air life", is the Norwegian value of time spent in the outdoors. Michelle, whose family fully embraces friluftsliv, introduced us to the idea last episode during our book review. We've thought of several ways that we practice the free air life, intentionally or naturally, to share and have decided to join Norway in declaring 2025 the year of friluftsliv!For more in-depth show notes visit Bloom Box: Growing Deeper at: https://plantnebraska.org/podcastSend us your questions at growingwithbloombox@gmail.com or leave us a voicemail.Follow us @NEBloomBox on Facebook and InstagramFollow us @growingwithbloombox on PinterestLearn more about Bloom Box: https://plantnebraska.org/bloom-boxLearn more about the Nebraska Statewide Arboretum: https://plantnebraska.org

Schweden ist bekannt für ein weitgehend entspanntes, naturverbundenes Leben und zahlreiche besondere Lebenskonzepte.

Hva er skogsbading og hvordan kan naturen hjelpe oss med sorg og andre livsutfordringer?I denne episoden skal vi gå i dybden på skogsbading og hvordan naturen er terapeutisk for oss.  Du får møte skogsbadguide Nina og lektorstudent Hedda som begge deler sin tøffe sorgreise og hvordan naturen har spilt en viktig rolle for dem i møte med livets utfordringer. Hedda mistet sin far som barn, og Nina mistet sin yngre søster i voksen alder. Hedda deler sin erfaring med skogsbading, og Nina guider deg og de andre på rundreise i naturens terapeutiske skattekammer. Hun forklarer hvordan skogsbad og aktivt, tilstedeværende bruk av naturen påvirker oss.Sammen med Jimmy snakker de også om hvordan teknologien og dagens frakobla samfunn påvirker oss, spesielt i møte med tøffe livsutfordringer. De deler sin innsikt rundt hvordan naturen og tilstedeværelse er en viktig nøkkel for å leve godt i dagens høyteknologiske verden.Nina Alida Nordbo er tidligere journalist og nå skogsvandrer. Oppdagelsen av hva en sterkere naturkontakt kan bety for oss mennesker har ledet henne ut på en ny ferd i livet. Hun har tatt naturveiledning på Norges Miljø- og Biovitenskapelige Universitet og er sertifisert skogsbadguide fra Forest Therapy Institute i Portugal og Nádúr Centre for Integrative Forest Therapy i Irland. Hun har fordypet seg i Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction i regi av University of Bangor, Wales, og studerer nå Nature Connectedness ved University of Derby. Nå jobber hun både med privatpersoner og organisasjoner, kunstnere og ledere, kommuner og festivaler, ungdommer og folk med helseutfordringer, hvor fokuset ligger på å bruke naturens terapeutiske effekt.Hedda Bluhme er 24 år og studerer lektor ved UiO på Blindern. Hun deltok i skogsbading i forbindelse med et minifeltarbeid gjennom emnet antropologi og religion. Friluftsliv har vært en viktig faktor i håndteringen av vanskelige og følsomme prosesser i hennes liv. Det ble en superkraft i møte med angst og sorg. Hun mener det handler om å se forbi at man må ta de lange turene i skogen eller i fjellet, for å finne kraft i det å være et sted der det finnes pusterom.God lytting!Vi trenger din hjelp for å fortsette å lage Hverdagspsyken!

Uten egentlig å ta steget inn i ultralett friluftsliv har jeg de siste årene jobbet en del med å redusere vekten i ryggsekken på tur. Viktige steg på veien har både vært å redusere mengden utstyr jeg tar med og finne nye og lettere alternativer til utstyret jeg tidligere har brukt. I denne episoden går jeg gjennom mine erfaringer med fem ulike produkter som har vært mye med på tur de siste to-tre somrene: To jakker, en bukse, et telt og en ryggsekk.Testene ligger også ute på min nettside, så om du vil se nærmere på produktene kan du følge linkene under.Husk også at min kommersielle samarbeidspartner Barents Outdoor stadig legger ut rimelige telt i sin outlet.Link til produkttester på nett:Zpacks Vertice Rain Jacket [+]https://randulfvalle.no/artikler/2024/06/03/test-zpacks-vertice-rain-jacket/Zpacks Vertice Rain Pantshttps://randulfvalle.no/artikler/2024/06/03/test-zpacks-vertice-rain-pantstest/Zpacks Ventum vindjakke [+]https://randulfvalle.no/artikler/2024/05/14/verdens-letteste-vindjakke/Stone Glacier Terminus 7000 ryggsekk [+]https://randulfvalle.no/artikler/2024/09/09/test-stone-glacier-terminus-7000-ryggsekk/Barents Snota 1 Ultralight telthttps://randulfvalle.no/artikler/2024/09/18/test-barents-snota-1-ultralight/ Hosted on Acast.

Send us a textScandinavian countries are famously cold, beautiful places, and their people rank highly in terms of happiness compared to the rest of the world.Tim Rayborn, author of The Scandinavian Guide to Happiness, explains the Scandinavian concepts that cultivate this sense of happiness many are longing for.We begin our conversation with the Swedish principle Lagom, a phrase meaning "just enough." This concept takes moderation to a new level, applying not only to consumables and activities but also to relationships and the workplace (looking at you, workaholics!).Ever felt the need to break away and touch grass? The Norwegian concept Friluftsliv is ingrained in their culture, emphasizing being outside and connecting with nature as part of everyday life. It's no surprise, especially when you realize that over 50% of the world's population lives in urban areas plagued by mental illness and stress.Hygge and Lykke are Danish phrases for comfort and joy, simple ways to create happiness and a sense of safety. These ideas are grounded in time well spent and cozy, safe havens—not driven by consumerism and expensive lifestyles.Finally, we discuss the Finnish principle Sisu, which describes incredible resolve and fortitude, as well as the Icelandic phrase Þetta reddast, loosely translated as "whatever, it's fine." Don't be fooled by these ideas—while they suggest that things may not always work out, they encourage the belief that, even when faced with more than you can handle, you will overcome.These concepts from Scandinavia arise from an overarching emphasis on collaboration for the common good. Tim and I have an interesting discussion on how these communal values impact individual freedoms and how many other societies fail to prioritize the right things for true freedom.When you think of a guide to happiness, you might picture something bubbly and energetic, or perhaps full of big goals and checklists. But in this conversation, these principles lead to a sense of humble, simple contentment.Send this episode to a friend who could use a guiding light for quiet, gentle happiness. What's Inside:Scandinavian concepts that embody happiness.Phrases from all over the rugged north that explain why people can be happy in such a harsh environment.Are countries like the USA prioritizing the wrong freedoms?Simple, humble attributes of contentment.Creating a happy life beyond consumerism.Is it possible to embody these Scandinavian concepts of happiness in a society that doesn't support these ideologies? What was your favorite principle or are there any concepts you plan to start practicing in your day to day life?

Schweden gehört zu den zufriedensten Ländern der Welt – zumindest laut dem World Happiness Report, der jedes Jahr von den Vereinten Nationen veröffentlicht wird. Hinter Finnland, Dänemark und Island landete Schweden in diesem Jahr auf Platz 4. Aber warum ist das eigentlich so? Welche Faktoren sind essenziell für ein zufriedenes Leben? Und warum belegen die nordischen Länder regelmäßig die vordersten Plätze? Darüber sprechen wir in dieser Folge und legen uns auf sieben Gründe fest, die Schweden besonders lebenswert machen. Zusätzlich schauen wir uns noch an, wie du selbst die skandinavische Zufriedenheit in deinen Alltag integrieren kannst. Schwedenglück deluxe! Und hier geht's zu Folge 32 - Mojäng und Mackapär in Stockholm des Nordic Way-Podcasts, bei dem wir vor Kurzem zu Gast waren.Abonniere unseren Podcast, lass uns eine Bewertung bei Apple Podcasts oder Spotify da und folge uns auf Instagram und Facebook, wenn dir gefällt, was du hörst!

Today's episode explores cultural concepts from Japan, Norway, Denmark, and Finland that offer new perspectives on achieving work-life harmony or "cohesion." It introduces the Japanese concept of ikigai,  the Swedish principle of lagom, the Norwegian/Swedish appreciation for nature called friluftsliv, and the Danish idea of hygge. I encourage listeners to reflect on how adopting elements of these philosophies could bring more clarity, balance, and fulfillment to their lives. Learning from other cultures and making small, sustainable changes aligned with one's values, it's possible to cultivate greater work-life cohesion and overall well-being. https://www.instagram.com/nicole_bachle/

There's a reason homesteading and homeschooling often go hand-in-hand. We recognize the shortcomings in the system and want to create a better childhood and a better future for our kids—one where they are free to be creative, healthy, active, smart, resilient, and resourceful. But as simple as that kind of life sounds, it's not always easy.  Today's podcast guest gets it. Ginny Yurich is the genius behind the 1000 Hours Outside movement and the author of the upcoming book Until the Streetlights Come On! Ginny discovered the benefits of unstructured outside play when her children were small. She was surprised to find that most children spend 1200 hours every year on a screen, and she began experimenting with the idea of spending hours upon hours outside with her kids in response to that notion. Ginny talks about the technological advances and modern-day comforts that are actually harming our children's health, and social, mental, emotional, and physical development. If you have children in your life, check out the full episode to learn more about the 1000 Hours Outside movement and how you can raise happy, healthy, well-rounded kids in this tech-heavy culture.  Don't forget to leave a review and let me know if you want to hear more episodes like this one!  Find Ginny: Website: https://www.1000hoursoutside.com/ Track Your Time Outside!: https://www.1000hoursoutside.com/trackers Book: Until the Streetlights Come On: How a Return to Play Brightens Our Present and Prepares Kids for an Uncertain Future - Ginny MEd Yurich: https://amzn.to/3PPuHrI   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/1000hoursoutside/   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/1000hoursoutside Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCAh7PGo3i2OqKlzHP0_ThOA/featured  Other Resources:    The Reconnect Movement - Sean Killingsworth: https://thereconnectmovement.com/ Balanced and Barefoot: How Unrestricted Outdoor Play Makes for Strong, Confident, and Capable Children by Angela J Hanscom: https://amzn.to/461DCw8   The Tech-Wise Family: Everyday Steps for Putting Technology in Its Proper Place - Andy Crouch: https://amzn.to/48qq7Ye Digital Madness: How Social Media Is Driving Our Mental Health Crisis--and How to Restore Our Sanity - Nicholas Kardaras: https://amzn.to/3RzM3KD   Generations: The Real Differences Between Gen Z, Millennials, Gen X, Boomers, and Silents―and What They Mean for America's Future - Jean M.

Friluftsliv is a Norwegian word that roughly translates to "open-air living." Norway recently topped a survey of countries that rated its people on happiness, life satisfaction, nutrition, and health. Friluftsliv is often sited as the reason, and I tie this Norweigian philosophy to play therapy principles.   In this episode, I discuss the following topics:   Happiness, life satisfaction, nutrition, and health Helicopter parenting vs trial-and-error parenting Enjoyment and self-improvement   Follow me on Twitter: @thekidcounselor Podcast HQ: https://www.playtherapyparenting.com/ My Newsletter Signup: https://www.playtherapyparenting.com/newsletter/ My Podcast Partner, Gabb Wireless: https://www.playtherapyparenting.com/gabb/

Enjoying and respecting the outdoors is not exactly a skill that's being preached to our young people. There's this great big world out there at our fingertips, but we're all more concerned with what's happening on Instagram and in our email. I know, this sounds preachy. I don't mean it to be that way, but I think it is important for us to get outside more. I spoke with Linda Akeson McGurk about her new book 'THE OPEN AIR LIFE: DISCOVER THE NORDIC ART OF FRILUFTSLIV AND EMBRACE NATURE EVERY DAY.' The Nordic people have an immense respect for the outdoors and they understand how we live within the natural world. There also are a lot of health benefits that come from spending more time outdoors.I really enjoyed this conversation with Linda and I'm glad it will be my last interview of 2022. I think it's a great way to go out!

Last weekend brought snowfall across much of the United Kingdom, offering a clear sign that winter is here. Now with temperatures this low, the instinct for many of us may be to cuddle up in bed under a blanket. But the subject of today's episode is all about getting outdoors whatever the weather. Friluftsliv is a Norwegian term that more or less translates as “open-air living”. You could call it the outdoor equivalent of Denmark's hygge, which is all about finding comfort indoors. Indeed, Norway has strong outdoor traditions all year round, even when days are short during the winter. Friluftsliv is so ingrained in Norwegian culture that universities offer bachelor's degree courses in it, and it's protected by law through the Outdoors Recreation Act.  Where does it come from? What about us city dwellers? How can we embrace friluftsliv in our local area? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions! To listen to the latest episodes, click here: Can standing on one leg save your life?

"Friluftsliv" is what Swedish people do outside all day before they cuddle up in front of the fireplace with their wool socks on and a cup of hot chocolate. It's also the subject of the terrific new book The Open-Air Life written by Write About Now guest Linda Akeson Mcgurk. From walking barefoot around the neighborhood to foraging for mushrooms, Mcgurk talks about why and how we should spend more time outside and how friluftsliv can combat stress, anxiety disorders, depression, and burnout. Even if you're not the outdoorsy type, you'll find this interview a nice anecdote to our frantic, plugged-in society.

Linda McGurk, one of our favorite return guests is back!  She is sharing more of her Swedish culture, this time about a concept known as Friluftsliv.  She has written a book about it and is here to teach us about how outside activities can bring us peace and contentment.

Seems like we are programmed for MOTION first and then rest after the movement has provided its calming effect. Friluftsliv  is a Norwegian word that translates roughly as “open air life.” A way of life, an entire philosophy that celebrates the commitment to being outdoors, no matter one's age or physical condition. Connection, calm & clarity comprise the three legs on the stool of positive benefits. Or how about relax, refresh & re-energize.

What is Friluftsliv? Where does Friluftsliv intersect with sustainability, health, tourism and more? And, what does the Furture of Friluftsliv look like? The Nordic Master in Frilufstliv Studies program (NORFRI) may hold some of these answers...and surely it all makes for an interesting conversation. In this episode we've gathered 3 students of the NORFRI program to discuss all these topics AND MORE! So, if you're a Friluifts-nerd like our host, or even a bit Frilufts-curious, you're gonna love this episode. Click here For more info on the NORFRI Masters Degree program.

Show notes News Item Screen Time Went Up During the Pandemic “The latest report from Common Sense Media confirms what many of us know intuitively: Entertainment media use grew faster in the last two years than it did in the four years before the pandemic. While many of us didn't think it was possible to cram more entertainment screen time into our waking hours, we somehow managed to do so in 2021.” Overview What Is Screen Time? We've Been Worried about It Since the Introduction of TV Computers Accelerated the Issue (1980s and 1990s) Gaming Devices, Cellphones, and Smartphones Put It All on Steroids And Then There Was a Pandemic … What Impact Has All of This Had on Your Screen Time? Latest Studies Common Sense Media Report Tweens spend an average of 5.5 hours on entertainment media Teens spend over 8 hours Social media users are getting younger: 40% of children between 8 and 12 are on social media platforms Some significant variations based on gender, race, and family income Lower-income tweens spend as much as 3 hours more each day on entertainment media Smartphone Usage in 2021 37% of 11-year-olds use a smartphone 91% of 14-year-olds You can get a Pinwheel phone for your child to help with screentime management Screen Time Recommendations by The American Academy of Pediatrics Infants/toddlers, ages 0–2 years: No screen time exposure for infants and toddlers. The only exception being connecting with loved ones on a screen. Children ages 2–5 years: Up to one hour per day of high-quality screen time. Do not use technology as a babysitter In 2016, researchers found that babies (0–2 years) spend 42 minutes per day on screens, and children (3–4 years) spend two hours 40 minutes per day on screens. Most parents teach their child how to use a touchscreen by age two. Screen time usage per day was too high before the pandemic. It is even higher, now.

We will learn: How to adopt and teach the scandinavian's relationship with nature.  How to change your mindset around bad weather.  The little known benefits of unstructured nature play. My husband always says to me, “there's no such thing as bad weather, just inadequate clothing.” To which my usual reply is, “That's absolutely and utter bullshit, it's frigid outside and it makes me want to die.”   Okay a little dramatic I know, but my spirit animal is cozy and I like hot tea and fuzzy slippers and warm baths and my husband seems to get off on cold hard steel and I just don't get it, okay?   But I want an expansive mindset that enables me to go or live anywhere so I'm learning to appreciate all that nature has to offer.    My husband's family is in Michigan, and if you know anything about that state, the running joke is “Don't like the weather? Wait a minute.”   But when there is a beautiful day, they enjoy it.  The whole summer is spent outside. They spend time really curating their yards, which are forests, making it an even more beautiful and welcome place to be.  Maybe all the gloomy days make the sunny days even brighter.    So how do we pass on the gift of appreciating nature and all that it entails, regardless of its temperature?   That's what we're talking about today. Our guest is Linda McGurk, journalist, blogger, and author of the parenting memoir “There's No Such Thing As Bad Weather: A Scandinavian Mom's Secrets for Raising Healthy, Resilient, and Confident Kids” (from Friluftsliv to Hygge).
