Being in contact with the outdoor has a considerable <\/span>positive impact<\/span> on the cognitive, behavioural and emotional development of human beings since prehistory. Even nowadays it is not unusual to feel inspired, intimidated or even influenced by walking in nature or admiring a natural or urban landscape. Outdoor education is an innovative teaching approach that offers the possibility to address two of the most important topics of today\u2019s society: providing <\/span>long-lasting high-quality education<\/span> y <\/span>sensibilizaci\u00f3n<\/span> on the importance of preserving our planet in the face of the daunting threat of <\/span>cambio clim\u00e1tico<\/span>.<\/span><\/span>
La nueva edici\u00f3n del curso \u201c<\/span>Educaci\u00f3n al aire libre: una nueva forma de ense\u00f1ar y aprender<\/span>\u201d took place in Bologna, Italy from <\/span>26\/10\/2025 to 01\/11\/2025. <\/span>The participants came from all across Europe, with Kristi, Kaidi and Maris from <\/span>Gimnasio Kanepi<\/span> in Estonia, Marietta from <\/span>Salg\u00f3tarj\u00e1ni Bolyai J\u00e1nos Gimn\u00e1zium<\/span> in Hungary and Ilona and Borb\u00e1la from <\/span>Salg\u00f3tarj\u00e1ni Tanker\u00fcleti K\u00f6zpont – Salg\u00f3tarj\u00e1ni Bolyai J\u00e1nos Gimn\u00e1zium NA2101<\/span> in Hungary too.<\/span><\/span>
Partiendo de la definici\u00f3n de <\/span>Educaci\u00f3n al aire libre<\/span>, we explored the diverse ways in which we can guide our students to come in contact with the outdoor, which doesn\u2019t imply to be always in nature and forests. Indeed, we dedicated one part of the training to <\/span>Educaci\u00f3n al aire libre en el entorno urbano<\/span> in the city. The participants learned to teach subjects like science, maths, music, art, language and more by testing activities which guided their attention to the surroundings.<\/span><\/span>
Adem\u00e1s, nuestro curso se dividi\u00f3 en cinco d\u00edas diferentes, y as\u00ed se organiz\u00f3 la semana:<\/span><\/span>
On Monday, we started the week in class by giving a definition to Outdoor Education and discussed its benefits. Moreover, the participants presented their schools and shared their different ways of working with Outdoor Education.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\u200bOn Tuesday, the group reached Villa Ghigi and participated in activities for developing their senses, orientation, warm up and team building.
On Wednesday, participants went to the city center of Bologna to play an interactive urban treasure hunt game, which was very useful and entertaining.
On Thursday, the group mainly discussed about the role of non formal education.
Finally, on Friday, participants participated in different outdoor activities for different subjects and reflecting on how to plan an activity outdoor.
Another part of the course was focused on practicing many tools in a natural environment<\/strong> in local parks. All the games and activities tested were much appreciated and gave inspiration to our participant not only in sharing their activities with the rest of the group, but also to create their own Outdoor activity.
Participants also explored the concepts of Non Formal Education (NFE),<\/strong> a pedagogical approach in which many of the outdoor activities falls in. This approach puts at the centre of the learning process the concrete experience that students live when they are performing\u00a0 an activity or a task. By following the entire cycle and making sure we ask our students the correct reflecting questions, they are able to relate the new knowledge acquired to their lives and apply it.
Indeed, the last part of the course was dedicated to designing an outdoor experience<\/strong> ad hoc for each participant\u2019s target group. After studying the principles of outdoor learning approach, discovering the 10 Kurt Hahn rules and their true meaning, getting in touch with many different urban and natural activities, in the last day of the course each participant designed an outdoor lesson based on the subject taught. Taking into consideration the level of age of their pupils, and the skills and topics they wanted to address, each teacher planned in details the session, presented it to the other participants of the course and received feedback on how to improve it. \u200bThis week was a true example itself of the efficacy of experiential outdoor learning: with our hands-on approach, participants had a real taste of what an outdoor education activity looks like and acquired the knowledge needed to plan one for their pupils.
Durante este curso, los participantes pudieron explorar una amplia serie de actividades y juegos que podr\u00e1n replicar con sus alumnos, demostrando que el aprendizaje no s\u00f3lo tiene lugar dentro de un aula.
