📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

Through this activity, participants will acquire leadership skills, sustainability practices, outdoor and survival skills and will be problem-solving oriented with critical thinking skills. Non-formal education in the context of forest schools refers to educational programs or activities that take place in natural environments, such as forests or woodlands, and are designed to provide learning experiences outside of the traditional formal classroom setting. These forest school programs are typically characterized by their experiential and hands-on approach to learning, with a focus on personal development, exploration, and connection to nature.

ℹ️ Additional information

The project is implemented under the European Solidarity Corps Programme, financed by the European Commission.
The participating organisations have to be mindful of these needs as they are responsible for providing a respectful and trusting hosting environment. At the same time, the organisations participating in the initiative devote a great deal of time, energy and resources to set up a high-quality activity; they should therefore expect that European Solidarity Corps participants show a similar level of respect for the local communities and the people that are directly concerned by the activities (https://youth.europa.eu/solidarity/mission_en).
