Touch (the) Nature
Training Course
2-9 October 2020 | Chotěboř (venue Chata Doubravka), Czech Republic
During 6 days full of outdoor and indoor activities we will inspire each other, play, challenge ourselves, relax, and create to explore various aspects of youth work in nature and get new ideas for it.
We are looking for participants who want to actively enjoy the program and enrich it with their own ideas and experience. No need to be Bear Grylls or Indiana Jones. We are just looking for those who prefer walking in the forest to PowerPoint presentations and campfire to city nightlife.
What will you learn?
– New types of activities can you do with youth in nature
– How to design an outdoor program for youth
– What is experiential pedagogy and how to use it in youth work
– The importance of motivating youth to spend time in nature and how to motivate the youngsters
Every participant will receive Youth Pass upon completion of the project. In Youth Pass, the participants can highlight their newly acquired skills, knowledge, and attitudes in the framework of 8 key competencies for Life Long Learning.
