Wilderness Knowledge E+ Training for Youth Workers_Idrija, Slovenia

Nature is beneficial to youngsters, they can find peace and calmness in it, and has a positive effect on their well-being, however, we noticed some organizations do not take their youngsters into nature. Some believe that nature is unsafe, and the youth workers lack the skills and do not have ideas for the activities in nature.

In this training, which will take place almost fully in nature above Idrija, Slovenia, we will teach you basic outdoor skills and provide you with basic knowledge of the outdoors, to empower you to feel safe to take your local youngsters into nature.

We will also create videos about the knowledge we gained, so we can share it with our organizations and empower other youth workers with the knowledge.
