Training Course<\/h1>\n

Health & Well-being through Nature-Based Methods
\n(25th \u2013 31st May 2020, Czech Republic)<\/h2>\n

Our bodies are no less a part of this planet than the trees, the mountains, or any existing creature. Yet, instead of feeling intimately connected to this planet, we often find ourselves feeling a deep sense of separation.<\/p>\n

Science has come to prove the interconnectedness of human beings and the natural environment through its positive effects on the mental, physiological, and spiritual aspects of the person. Ancient wisdom provides guidance on how we may reclaim our connection to Earth.<\/p>\n

Europe needs young leaders who are capable of handling both the challenges presented by their generation and those occurring in their personal lives. This can be learned with a focus on connection to nature, improving personal well-being, and developing a sense of community. (HWNM project team)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In fact, in ancient times, there was a great sense of spiritual connection with the natural world. This way of being was so fundamental to ancient cultures that it had no name, it simply was.<\/p>\n

If we can rediscover our connectedness to nature and approach it holistically, we can activate new perspectives, solutions and tools to create authentic and sustainable changes in our personal lives and in our communities.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

Feel the invitation to join this activity and contribute to deepening the quality of youth work by experiencing methods of outdoor education, self-awareness and intercultural understanding, and develop innovative educational tools based on personal and community needs.<\/b><\/h3>\n

Learning experiences<\/b><\/h2>\n

The training course will combine three thematic spheres for enabling participants to work on deeper personal levels in youth work: nature-based methods (holistic thinking), community building (intercultural understanding), and experiential learning (developing educational tools).<\/p>\n

Therefore, the programme is rooted in using\u00a0rituals, ceremonies, ancient wisdom, and ecocentrism<\/strong>\u00a0(human as equal part of nature; opposite is anthropocentrism) and expertise from the local organisation in Czech Republic. The activities will be inspired by the Wheel of Life, group dynamics, intention clarification and focus, natural elements, Way of Council, Rites of Passage, and creativity. All this will support self-reflecting, integration and adopting healthy habits and growth.<\/p>\n

The experience from the training course will afterwards be transferred to the different local communities of participants and a blog and an e-manual will be published, as a way to share with other youth workers and educators about the methods and tools, so they can be experienced with many other communities.<\/p>\n
