Aims & objectives

We will develop activities and tools for positive outdoor experience while enabling the
professionalization of youth workers and offering young people the opportunity for transformative
and non-formal learning experiences that will contribute to their personal growth. We will
implement upgraded methods in this field, share our knowledge in the local environment and raise
awareness of the potential that this type of work brings to various organizations in our environment.
All our partner organizations share a common wish to develop specialized knowledge in our own
organizations and increase awareness about outdoor education in the local, regional an international
context. We would also like to organize high quality outdoor experience for young people or young
people with fewer opportunities. This partnership allows us to take a step closer to international
cooperation and develop strong partnerships for future projects.

Outcomes of the activity

All the participants in the TC were working individually and in the teams they are working with (national teams). They prepared an outdoor activity for young people they can implement in their organisation.

Your tasks and responsibilities within the team

My role on this TC as a trainer was to connect the learning of the whole week, contextualise it and plan an activity that youth workers can implement in their local environment.

I worked on this training for 5 days as a full time trainer.
