Description

Our courses, developed in the framework established by the Erasmus+ Programme, are crafted to include both formal and non-formal education methodologies. Starting with a theoretical approach to the Outdoor Ed., we proceed with non-formal learning strategies to guarantee and stimulate an active contribution from the participants.   To achieve our goals we implement:

  • Analysis of study cases
  • Role-plays
  • Technical visits to local private and public institutions
  • Conferences with local professionals to exchange good practices
  • Workshops to rethink old practices and introduce new ones.
