There are countless researches on the power of nature to reduce stress, improve the mood, increase the creativity and promote general human well-being. Although there are few initiatives appearing that promote being in the wilderness (mostly related to adventure education), using this as a conscious educational approach is still very under-developed, particularly in the youth field. This is due to the fact that educators themselves are often not aware about the power of the approach and are not confident or lacking skills to use this in a daily work with young people. In this training course we wanted the participants without much prior experience with outdoor to experience the power of OEL to realize that designing and implementing such activities does not have to be complicated and provide them with concrete skills of developing such NFL tools that can later on be implemented with young people back at home. The reason why we wanted to make this project is that we strongly believe that young people really need to experience OEL and more activities in the nature. Based on our and our partners’ observations, with more and more frequent use of ICT technologies and being exposed to city and consumerist life-style and highly competitive societies we live in, young people experience a lot of stress while growing up. They have less and less chances of being connected to the nature and being outdoors, each other and community that they live in. This is bringing them further and further away from their roots, balance and well-being. We believe that introducing elements of learning in and from nature and OEL in youth work we could support young peoples’ development and inclusion in a more effective way. Although it might not be easy to involve young people in such activities in a first place, once they overcome the barrier, the transformations can be very strong and valuable. OUR AIM WAS: To contribute to quality improvements and innovation in youth work of partner organizations involved in this project by developing professional competences of 24 youth workers, educators and youth leaders to apply OEL as an effective learning tool and approach to support young peoples’ personal and social development. OUR OBJECTIVES WERE: 1. Exchanging challenges of youth work at the local level and identifying how OEL could be used as an effective NFL approach and tool for promoting personal development of youngsters, cooperation with peers, inclusion and becoming more connected to the community and surroundings. 2. Providing a space for youth workers to “live through” OEL activities in nature and thus allowing to experience the power of such learning in order to motivate them to use this approach for their daily youth-work. 3. Raising confidence and skills of youth workers to design and facilitate NFL activities with OEL elements and provide with tools that later on could be easily adapted for local youth work needs. 4. Implementing concrete follow-up activities (at least 15) in each country (within 2 months after the training) and agree on starting to use OEL as a regular approach to reaching the young people in the community.
