I am happy that we were able to put this together, reporting the findings from Germany, Sweden and England. It was an amazing project (UK and EU partnering countries) in 2016-18 from SIRIUS network. There were many useful good practices that practitioners, policy-makers, volunteers, NGOs, academic researchers, and governments shared for supporting the educational integration of young people seeking asylum and refuge.

Another output from last year's work. Something that I am passionate about - Forest School. There are many health and wellbeing benefits from Forest School practice and its variations. It encourages place-based relationality which is embedded in Indigenous worldviews around the world. I trained as a Forest School practitioner in England, UK. Often, people saw me as a traditional Indian woman, not practical, too much educated, socio-culturally different, and not really fitting into Forest School training. But, I was a different Indian woman! Learning and practising in the outdoors, toiling through the cold, rain, and snow, and using knives, axe, loppers, hammer, bow saw, machete, billhook, flint and steel, fire pits, ropes, tarps and what not other things. Oh, I loved it. Sharma-Brymer, V., Brymer, E., Willis, R.L., & Leach, M. (2024). Synergies of affordances and place-based relationality in Forest School for enhancing social and emotional well-being.

Happy to share this publication. This research brings to the forefront a critical discussion of practitioner perspectives on Indian outdoor industry, nature-human relationships for wellbeing, and emerging new trends of OE in globalised India. https://lnkd.in/gYk3jmik Mitra, S., Sharma-Brymer, V., Mitten, D., & Ady, J.

I had the honour of being on the International Women's Day panel at our university yesterday. I dressed up in this special sari. My first ever sari that my mother bought for me. She was an inspirational woman. Thank you to my wonderful colleagues for this photo!

My new book 'Aboriginal Australiakkondu Valasiga Lens' (A migrant's lens to Aboriginal Australia) is now available in the market. It is a series of 30 different articles written in Kannada language, providing perspectives and reflections. The information documented is from credible sources with authentic research. The book provides glimpses into my insider-outsider experiences too. Huge thanks to VividLipi for publishing it. Please buy the book for yourself, family and friends. I am super excited and happy that my book is out in the market today, 14 October, when Australians are voting YES or NO to the 'Voice to the Parliament - Referendum 2023'. As we know, the last referendum took place in 1967. This is my another way of saying Yes! What a significant day! This day and my book will be etched in my memory.

Great to be working with this amazing Declaration.
On this day in 2007 The UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples was adopted by the General Assembly. The Declaration establishes a universal framework of minimum standards for the survival, dignity and well-being of the Indigenous peoples of the world and it elaborates on existing human rights standards and fundamental freedoms as they apply to Indigenous peoples. It is particularly significant because Indigenous peoples, including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, were involved in its drafting. Read the Declaration here: https://hubs.la/Q021ngmP0. #karabena #first1000daysaustralia #undeclarationontherightsofindigenouspeoples #indigenousrights #un

📢 Call for Papers 📢 Special Issue: Investigating the potential benefits of outdoor and adventure for human health and wellbeing 🌿 We are excited to invite you to contribute to the special issue focused on investigating the potential benefits of outdoor and adventure activities for human health and wellbeing. Over the past two decades, research from various disciplines has highlighted the fundamental role of nature in promoting physical and mental health. However, traditional interpretations of these findings are being challenged, and new perspectives are emerging... This special issue aims to bring together cutting-edge research and to critically examine the role of outdoor adventure as ‘ideal’ for enhancing health and wellbeing. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Theoretical contributions that guide effective interventions - Discussions that compare health benefits between outdoor and adventure activities with traditional sports - Empirical studies that examine health-related outcomes across multiple groups (e.g. across the lifespan) and contexts (e.g. rural mental health) - Studies explicating lived experience - Comparative perspectives - Interdisciplinary perspectives - Perspectives that enhance our understanding of intervention or activity design. - Emerging trends, new meanings and paradigms in healthy human nature relations - Critical discussion exploring nature, health and society - Discussions examining policy and practice - Contribution of outdoor and adventure sports to global movements such as the UNSDGs (particularly goal 3), the one health movement and others. For submission guidelines and to submit an article, please visit https://lnkd.in/evCkYGhN For more information please get in touch with the SI editors Eric Brymer, Chris Loynes and Vinathe Sharma-Brymer, PhD _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Barbara Jean Humberstone Pat Maher Chris North Dr David Hills Jelena Farkić
