Train the Trainer - Experience Outdoor Education in Poland

Training Course

9-16 August 2026 | Narewka, Poland

Immerse yourself in a one-week outdoor training in remote Poland. Learn experiential education, rope skills, reflection methods, and learning theory—combined with nature, culture, and personal growth to empower your future work with groups.

This one-week training in Poland takes you straight into nature at a very remote location near the border region. For a full week, you will live and learn outdoors however beeing accomodated in a nice and cozy seminar house. The central focus lies on building a foundation in experiential learning, combined with practical rope techniques, reflection methods, learning theory, and the practical testing of newly learned content. Cultural and ecological education in Polish bio-reserves adds further depth to the experience.

Our experienced trainers from the Netherlands and Poland will guide you through the week, equipping you with essential elements of outdoor education so that you are prepared to apply them with your own groups in the future. Another important aspect is personal growth and reflection on your own identity. Learning journals, guided reflection, and close support from the trainers will help you to strengthen yourself for the challenges ahead.

Our goals: 

1 Develop Skills in Outdoor Education

Gain practical knowledge and techniques to integrate nature-based activities into your training repertoire with a specific focus on how to use those skills with (youth) groups.

2 Enhance Personal Development

Learn how outdoor experiences can be used to facilitate personal growth and self-awareness among participants.

3 Develop your identity as a trainer

Elements of self reflection help participants to understand further who they are as a trainer/facilitator/teacher or youth worker.

4 Foster Social Learning

Discover strategies for using group dynamics in natural settings to promote teamwork, communication, and social skills.

5 Build Resilience

Understand how outdoor challenges and experiences can strengthen individual resilience and coping strategies.

6 Connect with nature
