Manual
Toolkit realised during the Erasmus+ Training Course "Protected Areas: a playground for the inclusion of young people" that took place from 28th September to 07th October 2023 in Borrello (Province of Chieti, Abruzzo Region, Italy).
Aim of the toolkit is to provide youth and social workers, environmental activists, educators, youth animators, those responsible of ngos and youth centres, peer educators and volunteers with innovative approaches and methods in order to facilitate the inclusion of young people (especially the ones with fewer opportunities) and to ensure their active involvement in the management of protected areas under an infrastructural, educational and communicative point of views.
Nature can serve as a fruitful "playground" in which to stimulate young people practical activities in order to increase their opportunities for citizenship, community inclusion and active involvement. This toolkit is the result o fan Erasmus+ Training Course that aimed to realize an educational, cognitive, training and experiential path able to promote sustainable, inclusive and participatory development of young people and local communities. Main idea was to actively interact with the Nature Reserve of “Del Verde Waterfalls” in the rural area of Borrello in the inner part of the Apennine Chain in the Italian Region of Abruzzo. To achieve our goal, 3 environmental practical workshops (Creation of Educational modules, Community Engagement and nature, Visual identity of the nature reserve) have been developed in order to acquire and increase innovative competences, skills and methodologies through an educational process, in direct contact with the nature and the Borrello surrounding areas, in which to use non Formal Education. Having the natural Capital as perfect playground and using non Formal Education methodologies and approaches, the workshops developed their educational path realising several outcomes and results in terms of educational modules, communication products and infrastructural artefacts able to improve the quality and efficiency of the activities carry out by each partner in the different communities involved.
