The integration of experiential learning, environmental education, and curriculum studies within the framework of nonviolence education are deeply connected. Raising awareness about the relationship between human behavior and environmental degradation are considered forms of violence against nature. By supporting a transformative learning environment, this will allow for the encouragement of students to analyze how this affects humans and ecological systems. The use of experiential learning may develop empathy for ecosystems through immersive experiences and create a practice of problem-solving and critical thinking in a real-world context. By incorporating environmental education into the curriculum, this may foster a stewardship behavior toward the environment and grasp sustainability concepts through active participation. The outcomes of an in-person environmental education program in the schools may result in enhanced student engagement, critical consciousness, empowered actions, and sustainable curriculum development.
