Description
Fernando Echarri, Maria del Mar Garcia-Echeverria, and Teresa Barrio studied in 2026 the EcoArt program, which joins art and environmental education inside an art museum. Their case draws on Deep Ecology, a view that treats people and nature as deeply linked. The aim was learning that builds care for the natural world through art.
Rather than keep art and nature apart, the program uses looking, making, and reflection to tie them together. Learners build links to both cultural and natural heritage through hands-on creative work. The authors find that this mix can strengthen ecological awareness and prompt pledges to live in more sustainable ways. They argue museums can play a real part in facing environmental problems.
