This study explores the educational potential of a place-responsive pedagogy to teaching and learning in "friluftsliv" within the Swedish physical education and health (PEH) curriculum. The study draws on qualitative empirical materials from a yearlong research project, together with a group of high school PEH teachers working in seventh through ninth grade. Following Deleuze and Guattari (1987), this study employed the concept of becoming-place as an analytical tool in exploring modes of thinking and doing school-based friluftsliv. The findings suggest that the current understanding of friluftsliv as curriculum, perceived as outdoor leisure and recreation, limits teachers' use of school-based friluftsliv. The key finding of this study is that a place-responsive pedagogy can enable teachers to work within school-based friluftsliv in new and innovative ways and to engage in cross-curricular teaching and learning initiatives more locally.
