Episode 61: Unature

Through UNature, we explore how Luxembourg’s forests and natural areas actively contribute to mental health, prevention, and education. The organization bridges the gap between scientific research and practical applications, and collaborates with schools, government ministries, and stakeholders in the health sector to make nature a resource that fosters resilience and sustainable social development.
In this episode, we speak with Julie Schadeck, Executive Director of UNature, about the links between scientific data and practical applications. Julie works at the intersection of mental health, socio-emotional development, environmental policy, and societal transformation.
From developing international projects and European programs to hands-on forestry initiatives here in Luxembourg, she builds bridges between government ministries, schools, healthcare providers, and civil society. But behind every strategy lies a conviction: nature is not merely a backdrop. It is an active partner in prevention, resilience, and long-term societal change.
