Exploring the Study Circle approach in fostering change in biodiversity values among adults

Report

This report presents findings from four social experiments held in Slovenia, Ireland, Sweden and Greece, using the Study Circle method — a non-formal learning approach that brings people together to explore local biodiversity.

The aim was to reconnect citizens with nature, encourage community-based learning, and support positive behavioural change. 

The report also shares key recommendations for policy-makers and community leaders, including:

- Using Study Circles to boost biodiversity knowledge in adults

- Strengthening citizen participation in biodiversity protection

- Linking education and community action

- Encouraging personal engagement to inspire

- Building local capacity for biodiversity-related decision-making
