Being curious and learning about our natural and historic environments is good for our mental wellbeing. It keeps our brains stimulated and helps us to feel connected to our past and the natural environment.
Research shows that learning new things can also boost our self-esteem and self-confidence and give us a sense of satisfaction and purpose. Learning with others can also provide a way of forming or strengthening social connections – all of which are great for our mental wellbeing.
