Resumo: Seminar “Through the Nature to the Best of You(th)” is quite experiential and experimental in its’ design. There are countless researches on the power of nature to reduce stress, improve mood, increase creativity and promote general human well-being. Although there are few initiatives that promote being outdoors (mostly related to adventure education), using this as a conscious non-formal educational approach for youth empowerment and inclusion is still very under-developed. This is due to the fact that educators themselves are often not aware about the power of the approach and are not confident or lack skills to use in daily work with young people.
With this training course we want to give chance for 26 youth workers, educators and youth (scout) leaders that work with young people on the regular basis to experience the power of non-formal learning in the nature and outdoors for the personal empowerment and social development, and motivate them to use theese skills more often in work with young people as a tool.
Alojamento: You will be hosted in an Hotel Tivoli *** , where from you can see the beautiful scenery of towns underneath the mountains and enjoy the sublimous view to Vysoke Tatry, and Gerlach peak. Rooms with private toilet will be shared by 2 or 3 participants of the same sex. Some people might be also asked to share a double-bed. We are sure you will enjoy the location as there is plenty of space and the rooms are fresly re-furnished.
Perfil: - Involved in youth work for at least 1 year
- Have experience with providing non-formal learning activities for youth
- Are interested in topics of learning in/from nature and believe in the values
- Want to explore the nature/outdoors and are ready to stay 2 nights in a moutain hut.
Within 2 months after the seminar - ready to implement at least 1 follow-up activity tin the outdoors with their
young people to promote diversity and inclusion.
Descrição: This training course will be strongly based on Experiential Learning approach and include many activities in the nature and outdoors. In the middle of the training, participants will have the chance to experience a unique activity – a 3 day adventure hike in mountains with many tasks and challenges to learn from. At the second half of the training participants will be expected to create own non-formal learning activities in the nature that could later on be implemented with young people. And, as we believe that “Through the Nature we could get to the Best of You(th)” - with this seminar, we want to explore together with you how to use the great outdoor for youth work!
The seminar activities will partly take place indoors (8 days in a 3* hotel in one of the highest elevated villages of Slovakia) and partly outdoors (2 days of hiking in the high moutains and two nights in the mountain's huts).
As the contents of the project will largely depend on participants’ contributions in terms of sharing experiences working with young people, we expect all participants to have a REAL experience in youth work and non-formal education for some time and maturity as personalities.
