Details:
This is a Partner Building Activity using outdoor education as a tool; within the Youth in Action programme and in line with its priorities. During this 5 day PBA an international group of youth workers will participate in outdoor methods that will be used as an experience to reflect upon. These reflections will help the participants to understand better the educational approach of active methods. Over the course several moments will be used to establish links with theoretical frames in order to facilitate a good and profound understanding. Later on the participants will have a chance to create outdoor methods themselves and try them on other participants. Learning building educational methods helps you to make your youth exchanges better and give your young people good learning experiences. During this training course, a variety of other methods will be used requiring active involvement of participants both in a physical and mental way! The PBA is taking place in Kuusamo, on the edge of Lapland in Northern Finland. Oivanki Youth Centre will be the setting of the activity. March in Finland is still winter with deep snow. Winter activities will offer good experiences. Participants will experience Outdoor Activities, where they will be challenged and challenge each other. An open & respectful attitude and the will to be challenged is highly requested from the participants. Nature as a tool, outdoor tools & methods, group work, group dynamic exercises, individual & group reflections, self-assessment, theoretical analyses linked with the reality will account for the overall methods used during this PBA. This training course targets youth workers, directly in contact with young people interested in using outdoor education and experiential learning as a tool for facilitating the learning process of their young people during their next Youth Exchange. Experience in outdoor education is not needed but the willingness to be challenged, to work outdoors and to organise a Youth Exchange is a must! Participants should have at least 1-year experience working with groups, be 18 years old and be able to speak and to work in English.
