In recent years, the world has suffered an exaggerated and disproportionate exploitation of natural resources that directly affects people's lives both now and in the future. This utilitarian way of understanding the environment also extends to our society, which is becoming dehumanized, producing the so-called social exclusion. Horticulture, as th...
The twinning of Sacred Paths is a new experience because of the possible synergy it creates. This
article studies the twinning of the Way of Saint James in Spain with the Japanese Kumano Kodo. This
twinning unites the pilgrimages, unites spirituality, unites nature, unites creation, unites culture, but
in totally different contexts. From Western Ch...
Throughout its history, the museum has undergone a great evolution in the sense that it has shifted its weight from the column of objects to the column of people. Today, museums face many challenges in an increasingly fast-paced and changing society, where the personal, the social, diversity and inclusion are advancing forcefully. Taking into accou...
Background: Emotional exhaustion is a problem many palliative care (PC) professionals face during their activity. Art therapy is emotionally beneficial for palliative patients who experience suffering, but its impact on professionals' experience of suffering has not been researched.

Los museos pueden incorporar eventos destacados a su programación educativa, como es el caso de la pandemia Covid-19 que actualmente está afectando numerosos aspectos de la sociedad, tanto en aspectos personales, familiars, escolares y comunitarios. El Covid-19 se ha convertido en un centro de interés para las personas susceptible de ser aprovechad...
Environmental education is a discipline that tries to find new methodologies and tools to advance in the achievement of its goals. The museum education proposed by art museums, because of its specific methods and power of significance, can be a way forward for environmental education that is worth exploring. The theory of meaningful learning can be...
Since its conception, environmental education has carried out numerous plans, strategies and programmes aimed at restoring an adequate person–nature relationship, addressing the main environmental problems that threaten the planetary ecosystem balance. Even though environmental education proposes an integral education, it is infrequent that the spi...
The work of the artist Antoni Tàpies (1923-2012) has been widely studied from different disciplines, including his analytical and syncretic vision. This article tries to analyze one of its aesthetic keys: in particular, the conceptualization of its idea process, using the synthesis that appears in the graphic story "The most beautiful painting in t...
As in the case of the 80th anniversary of Picasso’s Guernica, painted in 1937, museums can incorporate significant dates and anniversaries into their educational programming. The University of Navarra Museum has taken advantage of the opportunity presented by this anniversary to present an educational project entitled “Guernica,” whose primary obje...
In the field of architecture, there is a growing awareness as to the relevance of using building materials that are produced in same geographical area as the buildings to be constructed. Important implications of these projects include environmental impact reductions deriving from less energy needed for transporting the materials, as well as the ac...
Radiant surface conditioning systems based on capillary tube mats not only provide high standards of comfort, but they also generate substantial energy savings. These systems allow for using renewable energies such as solar thermal panels because they function with water at moderate temperatures—lower in winter and higher in summer—compared to fan-...
The reality of the nature that we see can have multiple messages and meanings. Some of these are patent and continuously communicate with the individual, but others are hidden and are more difficult to unravel. A deep, contemplative and scrutinizing gaze is necessary to detect these messages. Educating this “new” way of seeing can help reinforce a...
The nature and scope of the experiences offered to museum visitors are varied and changing, given that museums make it possible to explore new methodologies for unleashing and transmitting meaning during visits. In this regard, at the University of Navarra Museum, we researched the possibilities for mindfulness as a contemplative technique to train...

This paper describes the curriculum and evaluation results of a unique course centred on palliative care decision-making but aimed at introducin...
La realidad que nos muestra la naturaleza posee múltiples mensajes. Estos mensajes se comunican continuamente con el individuo estableciéndose un vínculo persona-naturaleza. Este vínculo puede ser representado y estudiado mediante el hecho artístico o creativo. El presente artículo muestra algunas de las múltiples conexiones que se establecen entre...
Ventilated façades with external thermal insulation contribute to the construction, in certain climatologies, of a great energetic efficiency in the thermal envelope of the building. This façade allows to eliminate the thermal bridges, reduce the energy demand and improve the level of comfort. These pages describe the research carried out in an iso...
The climate conditions of the Mediterranean coast in Spain require a high energy demand in detached houses. Traditionally, vernacular architecture obtained an air interior temperature in summer of around 26°C-in principle quite comfortable because the superficial temperature of the walls was less than 23°C-by using masonry walls of around 50 cm in...
A primary aim of environmental education is to promote environmental values. Significant life experiences (SLE) are a powerful, fast and long-lasting way to achieve this objective, but they have received little scholarly attention thus far. As examples to help us characterize SLE and understand their function, the cases of three well-known environm...

En este artícu...
Our culture has developed an environmental awareness that has to meet many
educative challenges. Environmental choices may build us up… or wreck us, individually
and collectively, damaging both our bodies and cultures, even our landscapes.
There is a shared link between human beings and nature, made out of both humanity
and naturalness. The value a...
