We want to carry out this project because youth workers and educators in our partnership need practical, impactful, and safe methods to support young people in developing core life competencies: resilience, decision-making, responsibility, taking initiative and teamwork/cooperation. Outdoor education is particularly suited to this, because it utilises experiential learning on another level: decisions have visible consequences, roles and cooperation matter, and reflection can turn experience into transferable skills. The positive impact of outdoor learning is backed by numerous studies and continuous practice. We want to achieve a clear, practical change in youth work practice across the partner organisations: outdoor education will move from being an occasional “nice activity outside” to a structured, safe and inclusive non-formal education approach that youth workers can use to support young people’s resilience, decision-making, responsibility, initiative and teamwork/cooperation, while strengthening respect and appreciation for nature. That's why we would like to organise a comprehensive long-term training course for youth workers/educators:Into The Wild:Outdoor Learning in Youth Work which aims to train youth workers on how to use outdoor education for building essential competences and skills, such as reselience, efficient communication,decision making, team work and cooperation, critical thinking and appreciation for nature which will better equipp young people to addressing current challenges of nowadays with proactivity. The long-term nature of the project ensures competence development and real transfer: participants learn core principles of outdoor pedagogy during the first training course, test it in practice through local workshops, and then consolidate quality, inclusive incorporation of outdoor education in various youth work settings during the second training course, resulting in shared resources. Key objectives: -develop participants’ competences in outdoor pedagogy linked to resilience, decision-making, responsibility, initiative and teamwork -articulate and reflect on participants’ own values for outdoor and experiential learning; -reflect critically on current practice and applications of outdoor and experiential learning -To give the participants an opportunity to directly experience various outdoor methods and techniques and reflect on ways of incorporating these methods and techniques into their daily youth work with young people including young people with fewer opportunities -to reflect on the opportunities of hikes and low-rope courses in outdoor education - to develop participants’ competences in designing, planning, implementing and evaluating outdoor and experiential learning activities -to learn how to understand and handle risk and safety in outdoor settings; -To increase knowledge of the participants on Erasmus + and promote cooperation and networking
