Method Book for Outdoor Activities - AYOY
The project idea is to create opportunities for the Youth leaders to learn new ways of involving youngsters with outdoor activities in their countries. Each participant will as well share their knowledge and experience about specific areas of work.
Aims of the tool
The main objectives of this project are:
- to understand better the differences and similarities outdoor activities practiced by young people within the different countries
- to exchange experiences, ideas and methods between youth leaders from different countries
- to evaluate and create new methods for working with young people and outdoor activities.
- to create a method book for Youth and outdoor activities
Description of the tool
For the last three years, Globala Kronoberg has been organizing a youth exchange called Go out Be in with youngsters from different countries. In these exchanges we promote activities outside and motivate youngsters to leave the private space of their homes and enjoy funny activities in the nature or in the urban public spaces.
After 3 years of organizing this exchange, we thought it would be interesting to have the opportunity to share our experience with other organisations and also to get inspiration and more knowledge in the fields of leadership and outdoor activities.
To achieve this goal, we organized an Erasmus+ training course called Are you out yet (AYOY), in Moheda, Sweden, in the summer of 2015. During 10 days, youth leaders from Sweden, Spain, Malta, Cyprus, Hungary, Armenia and Austria tested different methods and tools for working with youngsters in an outdoor environment. The training resulted in this method book, which gathers some of the activities that we arranged and tested.
We hope that you find in AYOY method book, an inspiration for your work as a youth leader, as well as pratical advices and tips for activities outdoors.
Here you can find full description of each activity and information about the place, the environment and the number of participants. You can also read advices for leadership, comments from participants and ideas for adapting the activities to different target groups.
We hope the AYOY method book will be usefull in your work and will inspire your youngsters to use the outdoors in a funny and dynamic away!
Enjoy!
