Nature-Based Education and Well-Being among Youth
The world has changed radically, and people now live in an era of an abundance of information and contacts. The standard of living has never before been so high in many Western countries, but at the same time, the first quarter of the 21st century has been turbulent in many ways and is characterized by an increasingly harsh social climate. Public debate has hardened, and polarization has increased. The world and everyday life have changed significantly in a short time. These are aspects that also affect the everyday lives of our young people and, thus, their opportunities for well-being. The range of choices for young people has never been so wide as today, but this seems to come with a price, as our individual choices and actions are portrayed as crucial to our future. Many young people feel that it has become more difficult to make the right choices in life, and research shows that young adults are increasingly worried about their future. Many youths feel that there are too many possibilities and too many decisions that should be made, and they feel pressure that too much is required of them.

Public School Choice Options in the United States
Under the structure of compulsory education, students in the United States are required to attend school until at least 16 years of age, which can be done at a variety of educational institutions, both public and private. Amongst public schools, students are each assigned a neighborhood school but also frequently have the option to attend a choice school. While the purpose of neighborhood schools is to provide a guaranteed educational option that accommodates most students, choice schools serve varied purposes that accommodate specific learning styles and societal goals. Four types of publicly funded choice schools are magnet, charter, alternative, and virtual schools. While each was established to serve a specific societal goal, their purposes have shifted over time and have produced varied student outcomes, both academic and non-academic.
