For participants of the multi-stage project 'Outdoors and Digital Tools in Youthwork'

Training Course: 7-15 August 2022 (including travel days), Kuusamo, Finland (http://oivanki.fi/)
Online Seminar: 4 working days, (estimated end of October, exact dates to be confirmed)

The corona crisis showed us the need for more outdoor related activities but also a reality which is closer to the digital world than ever before. Both worlds are important for a healthy and happy life. This project will show the wonderful combination of outdoors and digital tools. The combination will open up possibilities and mindset to the lives and works of the participants. It will raise their motivation to rethink the combination of outdoor activities within digital tools in a positive way.

Our project aims to increase the adaptiveness and quality of the outdoors learning experience provided by youth workers and educators to target groups that they work with.

The objectives of the project are:
-To exchange tools, experience and know-how related to outdoors learning
-To develop competencies in identifying the needs of various target groups and adaptation of activities according to them
-To develop competencies in developing own outdoor learning activities combining them with digital tools
-Build a community that supports the quality of outdoors learning projects and activities for young people.

The project comprises five stages:
1. Preparation at home before arrival.
2. Training Course that will equip participants with competencies to develop their own outdoor learning activities combining them with digital tools, based on the needs of their target groups.
3. Implementation of local outdoor learning activities (including combined with digital tools) in each partner country by using new competencies gained during the Training Course.
4. Online Seminar (4 days), where the participants of the Training Course will share their experience about the implemented outdoor learning activities, receive useful information during Experts inputs, prepare materials for dissemination, find partners for international projects and start developing new project ideas together.
5. Dissemination of the results of the project, including an invitation to the wider audience to join the community.
