About the International School Grounds Alliance
The International School Grounds Alliance (ISGA) is a membership organization, bringing together leaders in the fields of school grounds use, design and management. Membership is free. We invite you to join the ISGA to declare your commitment to creating and caring for these special environments that support children and young people’s learning, play and well-being. You will also be ensuring that the ecology and biodiversity of school grounds remains high on the agenda of those who influence and pay for school ground design around the world.
ISGA conferences are an opportunity to meet and hear from leading school grounds professionals from around the world and find out more about the culture of outdoor learning and play in the host country.
The Natural Way Forward conference, hosted by Provinciaal Natuurcentrum in Hasselt, Belgium, gathered 170 passionate participants from 22 countries, united by a shared vision for greener school grounds and nature-based learning. This vibrant event was filled with inspiring exchanges and fresh ideas, leaving a lasting impact.
