About the project "Outdoors and Digital Tools in Youthwork":
There are numerous studies that have proven that being in the outdoors can decrease one’s stress level, accelerate healing from an injury or illness, increase one’s ability to focus, communicate and express freely—even in children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. But not all youth workers and educators are aware of the benefits of these methods and/or have the capability and skill to use them in practice with their target groups. Even taking into account that digital tools became in some cases the “only” tool that you can use in order to organise activities, in order to follow national health regulations and measures. Not many organisations in the youth work field can afford to take the risk and replace good old methodology with digital tools (web pages, apps, etc).
Through our project, we would like to change this situation, by showing youth workers and educators a variety of ways how they can organise outdoors learning experiences while using digital tools.
Our project aims to increase the quality of the outdoors learning experience provided by youth workers and educators to target groups that they work with.
The objectives of the project are:
The project consists of a residential training course in Oivanki Youth Center, local follow-up activities in each partner community, online/virtual seminar with the Partnership Building Activity.
