Objectives

The presented project is built on the experience with implementation of the training courses Train the Trainers I and II and Nature and Education, while specifying the topic of these trainings in more detail and expanding them to new areas. The topic of the project is the use of nature as a tool for working with youth, especially in the field of non-formal and experiential education. Nature is an important aspect of non-formal and experiential programs that brings the phenomenon of adventure and activity to the educational process. As part of the project, its participants will learn about the possibilities of using nature for various types of non-formal youth education activities. The aim of the presented project is to contribute to improvement of the quality of youthwork through the development of competences of youth workers in the field of non-formal education in nature. The specific objectives of the project are as follows: - enable 30 youth workers from partner countries to experience various educational activities in nature, thereby motivating them to improve their own pedagogical practice and use nature as a tool and environment for educational activities - to familiarize 30 youth workers from partner countries with the methods of experiential pedagogy, flow learning and forest therapy and specific activities based on these methods, thereby increasing their flexibility in preparing informal education programs - enable 30 youth workers from partner countries to create their own program of non-formal education in nature, implement at least part of it and receive feedback, thereby supporting their motivation for further education, acceptance of responsibility for their education and work with strengths and weaknesses - support the involvement of young people with fewer opportunities in non-formal education in nature - support the creation of new partnerships between aprtner organizations and project participants.
