Details:
The Natural Change Outdoor Education training course is for youth workers and group facilitators. It is based on an innovative non-formal educational method that fosters personal transformation and leadership for sustainability. You will learn methods to engage young people in meaningful outdoor activities which promote health, personal development and provide a holistic approach to learning from nature. You will experience elements of the core Natural Change process, you will learn to lead peer group sessions using Natural Change facilitation techniques, to work with reflective facilitation tools and become critically aware of your own facilitation style, its strengths and weaknesses and strategies for development. The Natural Change approach draws on a wide range of educational and therapeutic disciplines including developmental outdoor education, popular education, experiential learning, ecophilosophy and a number of psychotherapeutic traditions. It is also informed by practices and insights from ancient and indigenous cultures. Natural Change works at personal, cultural and structural levels simultaneously to catalyze change for sustainability. It engages people working with youth, communities and organisations (youth workers, educators, teachers). On the practical level, the process includes small and whole group work and individual practices - including intellectual, sensory, intuitive and emotional elements. The work includes structured wilderness ‘solo’ time, ‘story-telling’ and reviewing of experiences, spending time together outdoors working experientially, and short theory sessions on a wide variety of subjects. Throughout, the participants develop and learn from relationships with each other and with the natural environment. The process builds a highly cohesive community of people who explore lifestyle change and leadership towards sustainability in an authentic, inspiring and empowering way.
This course is for you if:
• you are a youth worker or facilitator active in non-formal education and/or in youth work;
• you are interested in facilitating group work and you have some experience of doing this already;
• you have a background in developmental outdoor education, transformative and experiential education, psychotherapy, counseling, social work or health care;
• you are intending to start working outdoors on personal change processes;
• you are emotionally mature, self-aware and have a good base of life experience;
• passionate about sustainability and the more-than-human environment;
• you have a very good understanding of English.
The course aims to:
• support the personal development of participants;
• translate personal transformation gained through this learning process into social action, leadership and innovation for a more sustainable future;
• create a cross-cultural community of peer youth workers and facilitators in transformative learning for sustainability;
• increase motivation and capacity for entrepreneurship and innovation amongst young people;
• introduce innovative non-formal educational methods in environmental/outdoor youth work and youth work for sustainability;
• build capacity and professional development of the partner organizations on an organizational level.
