Description

Outdoor Adventure Education is an innovative educational approach that promotes learning and development through adventure-centred experiences. Adventure means challenge, uncertainty, new experiences, nature immersion, involvement of head, heart and hand, and relationships with others. In a complex and uncertain social and cultural context, adventure education seems to be a great learning opportunity for both youth and adults. Adventure education differs from restorative or recreational outdoor activities in its crucial role of reflection and conceptualisation during the learning process. Based in an outdoor training centre located in a rural setting, the course provides an immersive and experiential programme. The main event of this course is a two-day outdoor expedition, a great learning experience to experiment directly in the experiential process. We will hike in a natural area (Colli Euganei) and we will spend a night outdoors, exploring personal and group resources outside of our comfort zones. After the outdoor experience, we will reflect on and discuss personal insights, ideas, theories and methodology for developing outdoor adventure education in the school context. You will also receive some practical tools, participate in case histories discussion and have the opportunity for sharing and networking with passionate colleagues.

Learning objectives

The main objective of this training course is to provide a deep view on adventure education as resources for schools and communities. More specifically, the learning objectives are:
  • Understand the different learning opportunities offered by adventure education for personal an group development in school context.
  • Learn how to plan experience and facilitate reflection throw adventure education programs.
  • Know most relevant theoretical aspect in Adventure Education as group dynamics and experiential learning.
  • Explore and discover your personal inclinations and resources connected to teaching outdoors.
  • Gain confidence in adventure outdoor education.
  • Create a learning community during and after the course

Methodology & assessment

In this course we will use two main assessment strategies:
1. Self-assessment test before and after the training about the competence of an
outdoor educator. It is an assessment tool and, at same time, a learning and
reflection tool.
2. Qualitative evaluation, made through final reflection and sharing about the
personal and professional learning outcomes. This validation can be written but
also it can be expressed using creative methods for example drawing.
Individual evaluation will be combined with group final feedback and learning
assessment
