Have your thoughts and feeling ever been inspired by some great urban or natural views, when you were visiting a city or maybe walking barefoot on the beach? If you have (and I am pretty sure at some point in your life you did), you know how good it can make you feel.<br \/>\u200b<br \/>Surely, contact with the outdoor has a considerable positive impact on the cognitive, behavioural and emotional development of human beings since prehistory. So, how can we bring this into our classes, or rather better: how can we take our classes into the outdoor?\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>During our training course in Tenerife from 27\/06 to 03\/07, <strong>Kristina <\/strong>(from Osnovna \u0161ola Marije Vere, Slovenia), <strong>Ulrike<\/strong> and <strong>Verena <\/strong>(from BG Rein,\u00a0Austria), <strong>Evgeniya<\/strong>, <strong>Polina <\/strong>and <strong>Kapka<\/strong> (from Kindergarten &#8220;Bratya Grimm&#8221;, Bulgaria), <strong>Agnieszka<\/strong>, <strong>Gra\u017cyna <\/strong>and <strong>Krzysztofa <\/strong>(from Szkola Podstawowa nr 4 Mys\u0142owice,\u00a0Poland) and <strong>Magdalena <\/strong>(from \u0160olski center Postojna,\u00a0Slovenia) tried to reply to this guiding question by exploring different aspects of <a href=\"https:\/\/erasmustrainingcourses.com\/outdoor-education\" target=\"_blank\">Outdoor Education<\/a>.\u00a0<\/div>\n<hr style=\"width:100%;clear:both;visibility:hidden;\"\/>\n<div> <!--BLOG_SUMMARY_END--><\/div>\n<div class=\"paragraph\">On Monday the team got familiar with the basic theory of Outdoor Education, fixing in their minds the most important concept: <u>Outdoor Education must be \u201cIn\u201d, \u201cAbout\u201d and\/or \u201cFor\u201d the outdoor.<\/u> After that, they engaged with <em>Educational space planning<\/em>: we went in a garden and started to look at the place from a educational point of view.<\/p>\n<p>The following day was possibly the highlight of the week: after a trekking which guided us in a beautiful and wild beach where not much human contamination was visible, we engaged in one activity after the other, until it was time to walk back home. This practical day brought much inspiration to our teachers, who were starting to collect ideas in view of the final activity of Friday.<\/p>\n<p>\u200b\u200bOn Wednesday we explored concepts and game of Non Formal Education (NFE), a pedagogical approach in which many of the outdoor activities falls in.\u00a0<\/div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"wsite-multicol\">\n<div class=\"wsite-multicol-table-wrap\" style=\"margin:0 -15px;\">\n<table class=\"wsite-multicol-table\">\n<tbody class=\"wsite-multicol-tbody\">\n<tr class=\"wsite-multicol-tr\">\n<td class=\"wsite-multicol-col\" style=\"width:51.385041551247%; padding:0 15px;\">\n<div>\n<div style=\"height:0px;overflow:hidden\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"816603476492226535-slideshow\"><\/div>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\">\n(function(jQuery) {\nfunction init() { window.wSlideshow && window.wSlideshow.render({elementID:\"816603476492226535\",nav:\"thumbnails\",navLocation:\"left\",captionLocation:\"bottom\",transition:\"mosaic\",autoplay:\"0\",speed:\"5\",aspectRatio:\"auto\",showControls:\"true\",randomStart:\"false\",images:[{\"url\":\"6\/5\/6\/3\/65630323\/img-4960.jpg\",\"width\":\"800\",\"height\":\"600\",\"caption\":\"Educational Space Planning\"},{\"url\":\"6\/5\/6\/3\/65630323\/img-5035.jpg\",\"width\":\"800\",\"height\":\"600\",\"caption\":\"Problem solving in teams at the beach\"},{\"url\":\"6\/5\/6\/3\/65630323\/img-5080.jpg\",\"width\":\"600\",\"height\":\"800\",\"caption\":\"What is NFE? \"},{\"url\":\"6\/5\/6\/3\/65630323\/anyconv-com-img-5012.jpg\",\"width\":\"800\",\"height\":\"600\",\"caption\":\"Activities and games at the beach\"},{\"url\":\"6\/5\/6\/3\/65630323\/anyconv-com-img-5028.jpg\",\"width\":\"800\",\"height\":\"600\",\"caption\":\"Activities and games at the beach\"},{\"url\":\"6\/5\/6\/3\/65630323\/img-5067.jpg\",\"width\":\"800\",\"height\":\"600\",\"caption\":\"What is NFE?\"}]}) }\njQuery(document).ready(init);\n})(window.jQuery)\n<\/script><\/p>\n<div style=\"height:0px;overflow:hidden\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"wsite-multicol-col\" style=\"width:48.614958448753%; padding:0 15px;\">\n<div class=\"paragraph\">NFE puts at the centre of the learning process the concrete experience that students live when they are performing \u00a0an 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.\u00a0<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"paragraph\">Nevertheless, outdoor education doesn\u2019t need only wild nature and forests to be implemented. Also urban contexts can help us doing outdoor education, and this was precisely the topic discussed on Thursday. By engaging in a urban treasure hunt trekking, our team of teachers had the chance to get new perspectives on how to use the urban environment in which we live for educational purposes.<\/p>\n<p>The culminating moment of the week was our last day: after getting so much inspiration and testing so many activities, it was time for our teachers to put their newly acquired knowledge to test and come up with a tool\/an activity entirely designed on their own. At the end of the day, they had the chance to present it to each other and praising each other\u2019s works. We concluded our beautiful week by individually creating a collage which expressed feelings about the week and plans for the future. Every collage was special and unique, but they all had one thing in common: the eagerness to go home and put to test everything learned during this amazing week together.<\/p>\n<p>The Trainer &#8211; <em>Giulia Zambon<\/em><\/div>\n<div>\n<div style=\"height: 0px; overflow: hidden;\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"imageGallery\" id=\"512540267744682930-gallery\" style=\"line-height: 0px; padding: 0; margin: 0\">\n<div id=\"512540267744682930-imageContainer0\" style=\"float:left;width:33.28%;margin:0;\">\n<div id=\"512540267744682930-insideImageContainer0\" style=\"position:relative;margin:5px;\">\n<div class=\"galleryImageHolder\" style=\"position:relative; width:100%; padding:0 0 75%;overflow:hidden;\">\n<div class=\"galleryInnerImageHolder\"><a href=\"..\/uploads\/6\/5\/6\/3\/65630323\/img-5138_orig.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[gallery512540267744682930]\"><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"512540267744682930-imageContainer1\" style=\"float:left;width:33.28%;margin:0;\">\n<div id=\"512540267744682930-insideImageContainer1\" style=\"position:relative;margin:5px;\">\n<div class=\"galleryImageHolder\" style=\"position:relative; width:100%; padding:0 0 75%;overflow:hidden;\">\n<div class=\"galleryInnerImageHolder\"><a href=\"..\/uploads\/6\/5\/6\/3\/65630323\/img-5127_orig.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[gallery512540267744682930]\"><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"512540267744682930-imageContainer2\" style=\"float:left;width:33.28%;margin:0;\">\n<div id=\"512540267744682930-insideImageContainer2\" style=\"position:relative;margin:5px;\">\n<div class=\"galleryImageHolder\" style=\"position:relative; width:100%; padding:0 0 75%;overflow:hidden;\">\n<div class=\"galleryInnerImageHolder\"><a href=\"..\/uploads\/6\/5\/6\/3\/65630323\/img-5018_orig.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[gallery512540267744682930]\"><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"512540267744682930-imageContainer3\" style=\"float:left;width:33.28%;margin:0;\">\n<div id=\"512540267744682930-insideImageContainer3\" style=\"position:relative;margin:5px;\">\n<div class=\"galleryImageHolder\" style=\"position:relative; width:100%; padding:0 0 75%;overflow:hidden;\">\n<div class=\"galleryInnerImageHolder\"><a href=\"..\/uploads\/6\/5\/6\/3\/65630323\/img-4992_orig.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[gallery512540267744682930]\"><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"512540267744682930-imageContainer4\" style=\"float:left;width:33.28%;margin:0;\">\n<div id=\"512540267744682930-insideImageContainer4\" style=\"position:relative;margin:5px;\">\n<div class=\"galleryImageHolder\" style=\"position:relative; width:100%; padding:0 0 75%;overflow:hidden;\">\n<div class=\"galleryInnerImageHolder\"><a href=\"..\/uploads\/6\/5\/6\/3\/65630323\/img-5076_orig.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[gallery512540267744682930]\"><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"512540267744682930-imageContainer5\" style=\"float:left;width:33.28%;margin:0;\">\n<div id=\"512540267744682930-insideImageContainer5\" style=\"position:relative;margin:5px;\">\n<div class=\"galleryImageHolder\" style=\"position:relative; width:100%; padding:0 0 75%;overflow:hidden;\">\n<div class=\"galleryInnerImageHolder\"><a href=\"..\/uploads\/6\/5\/6\/3\/65630323\/img-5080_orig.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[gallery512540267744682930]\"><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><span style=\"display: block; clear: both; height: 0px; overflow: hidden;\"><\/span>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"height: 20px; overflow: hidden;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Have you ever been positively intimidated by how great, powerful, secret and mystical nature can be?
