Dr. Elvira Kronbichler
Elvira Kronbichler researched the issues of sport, nature and education in the 1980s and also taught about them at the Pädagogische Akademie Salzburg. Together with Fritz Seewald and Stefan Größing, she published the UTB paperback "Sport Ecology - An Introduction to the Sport-Nature Relationship" in 1998, in which she developed her central figure of thought of the "encounter with nature" from practice to theory. With her work, she laid a foundation for what we now call education for sustainable development.
