An Edutainment-Geopark as National Identity-Point in Sweden

摘要

We have found a point where the entire Natural and Cultural history of Sweden can be shown, illustrated and taught within a few km. This is totally unique and we speak about "the identity - point of Sweden" or "Sweden in a nut - shell". The basic concept is successive halts along a land uplift profile with description of how the local area looked at just this time- level, how Sweden as a whole looked and what were the most important achievements in the rest of the world. Step by step into a continuity; a journey "from barbarism to welfare state" or "from arctic sea to cottage garden". We have tested our concept on a large number of persons representing quite different parts of society--always with the same enthusiasm. We have not lowered the level of teaching, rather increased it, but we have made it simple and easily understandable which enlightening perspectives in the centre.
