Naturalistic intelligence in youth work ERASMUS + accredited projects - training for youth workers

ASPIRA is an Erasmus+ accredited organization dedicated to conducting trainings
focused on Gardner’s Eight Intelligences. We strongly advocate for a holistic
approach to learning, recognizing that each individual possesses unique strengths and
weaknesses, with varying degrees of proficiency in different intelligences.
In our upcoming training session, we will specifically explore the concept of
naturalistic intelligence. Naturalistic intelligence, as recognized by Gardner’s theory,
encompasses the ability to understand and appreciate nature deeply, allowing
individuals to fully immerse themselves in natural environments.
The primary objective of this training is to empower youth workers and leaders to
foster naturalistic intelligence within their respective youth communities. By honing
the skills necessary to engage with and appreciate nature, participants will gain
valuable insights into creating enriching experiences for young people.
Furthermore, our training emphasizes the importance of learning in an environment
conducive to growth and exploration. What better setting to cultivate naturalistic
intelligence than the great outdoors? We look forward to bringing together likeminded
individuals in an environment that facilitates experiential learning and personal
development.
