The three organizations aim to bring children closer to nature and make it easier for families with children to take their first steps outdoors so that more children can enjoy meaningful nature experiences and strengthen their connection to the natural world. It is more important than ever to help children and families get outside, as each generation spends less time in nature than the previous one.

The organizations approached Dwarf with the vision of creating a platform that enhances nature education for children. The goal was to equip more adults—parents, grandparents, young people, and volunteers—with the knowledge and tools to bring children into nature while consolidating all excursions and activities from green and blue organizations across Denmark into a single online platform. This makes it easy for families to take the first step into nature.

The solution is a platform built in Astro with Vue and Tailwind, using Umbraco as the CMS. TypeScript and Storybook have also been incorporated to improve testing and maintain a structured development process.

Based on the CVI from e-Types, the design is simple, clear, and playfully inviting, appealing to both parents and potential volunteers to encourage children to embark on outdoor adventures. The ambition was to remove as many barriers as possible in busy family lives, making it easier to integrate nature into everyday life, weekends, and holidays.

The platform serves as a central hub for nature-based activities across the country, specifically tailored for children and families. It also simplifies the process for interested volunteers to learn how to get involved, participate in training courses, and access relevant information.

The Tid til Tur platform has provided families and volunteers with a single entry point for nature experiences nationwide. The organizations now have a powerful digital tool to expand their reach, consolidate their activities, and make it easier to engage new volunteers.

The solution eliminates several barriers and supports the mission of bringing more children closer to nature—whether through spontaneous outings or planned events.
