Spanish term or phrase: el concepto "vida al aire libre" (en los países nórdicos)
Hola!

El texto que tengo en español dice así:

"En los países nórdicos de Europa, surgió el concepto de "vida al aire libre" vinculado a un fenómeno sociocultural de respeto a la naturaleza, donde las personas disfrutan del convivio durante su estancia en ella, el mejoramiento de la salud es un resultado o efecto de su práctica, ya que involucra movimiento físico, meditación y convivencia..."

En ese sentido ¿saben ustedes cuál es el término en inglés utilizado en esa zona? Yo usaría "outdoor life concept", por ejemplo, pero preferiría el término que ya se emplea para este concepto.

Mil gracias.

Hellen

el concepto
thhe concept of "a green life"


Explanation:
Your suggestion seems suitable, better as "the concept of 'outdoor life' ".

maybe " the concept of 'the green life' ", as practices associated with the outdoors and being at one with nature can often be refered to a being 'green'.

this is merely a suggstion though.

Explanation:
What's wrong with:
the concept of "life in the open air"?

It's closer to the original and still rings true IMO.
