Czech Children Outdoors Research

26. january 2025

Environment

We initiated the Czech Children Outdoors research to determine how much time preschool and school‑aged children spend outside. The data support our approach and reinforce the idea that outdoor education aligns with human nature and provides significant benefits.

The research conducted for us by the STEM analytical institute helps us base our work on reliable data. This study builds on a similar survey from 2015. The findings, which cover a wide range of areas, are available to educators, nonprofit organizations, experts, and the general public. We hope that everyone can use this data with us to benefit children—whose well‑being is our shared priority.

Selected Findings:

  • 34% of children do not go outside at all during lessons
  • 50% of school‑age and preschool children do not visit nature during the week
  • 50% of parents feel their children spend too little time outdoors
  • 71% of parents agree that children should go outside in all weather
