Abstract

Forest school programs are excellent but not widespread tools in environmental education that scould be incorporated into teacher training programs. Its usefulness in teacher training practice is presented here at the example of the University of Nyíregyháza. We are convinced and we show it using some examples that forest school programs improve environmental consciousness, holistic world-view and pedagogical competencies of students. We hope the advantages presented here contribute to the increase of the role of forest school programs in teacher training practice. Some proposal to the further research in relation to forest school programs is also presented.
