Outdoor learning in Bergen

   Taking advantage of Easter holidays and the shiny sun, I went to walk around Bergen to observe how norwegian people, particularly children, use the nature either to do sports or just to enjoy their free time. It was really surprising when I found many people enjoying the nature and doing it in many diferents ways.
   Here there is the video and afterwards the conclusion will be exposed.
 
    
   Summing up and getting some conclusions, I have to say that the most important fact was to see many children , normally with their parents, in the nature. Besides, many of the parents were carrying their babies on a special rucksack. If we compare this extensive fact in Norway with Spain, we can say that it is not so common to bring the children between 1 and 4 years to hike mountains with their parents. This point, in my opinion, make many links between children and nature since they are babies until they grow up.

   Moreover, it is important to say that generally in both countries (Spain and Norway) the same kind of sports are practiced, but however there is one big difference. Ski is much more common in Norway than in Spain, but in Spain, inversely, cycling or sports in the water are more common. In fact, it is said that norwegian babies are born with skis on their feet in reference to the widely practice of ski in the norwegian society.
