Training Course
12-19 July 2025 | Recoaro Terme (VI), Italy
The overall aim of the training is to train youth workers to be able to support young people to taking care of their mental health through practicing mindfulness methods in the nature. Meanwhile protecting environment, to become more eco-friendly and being natural and sustainable part of the eco-system.
The objectives of the training course are:
The methodology of the training course: By nature-based methods we mean a type of outdoor activities that happen in a natural environment and that make active use of nature as a central element of the activity, not just a pleasant frame. The benefits of using nature as an essential element for non-formal education with young people is supported by science. There is wide research confirming that contact with nature improves mental health and enhances a sense of belonging. Positive impact includes stress reduction, a sense of coherence, improved self-confidence and self-discipline, creativity, stress alleviation and a broader sense of community. Playing and learning together in nature, free from the distractions of today’s stimulation-intensive world, allows benefits to occur in relatively short periods of time. Nature is believed to allow a sense of connectedness, meaning and purpose. In a world full of social pressures, standards of conduct, and the demands of others; we argue that nature provides the youth with a great opportunity to appreciate that the world is alive, fascinating and meaningful.
