Learning outcomes
The course is focused on providing experiential activities based on the wilderness therapy method and adventure sports activities aimed at supporting personal development, teamwork, and emotional stability of participants. The course is based on the methodology of wilderness therapy, which has been methodologically validated (De Mille, 2023), and long-term research demonstrating the effectiveness of this method. Experiential activities are designed to stimulate interaction with nature, teamwork, and personal reflection. Course participants will engage in various experiential activities in nature, including mindfulness techniques, working with silence, team cooperation games, and adventurous nature-related activities. The course aims to provide participants with space to leave their comfort zone and experience direct interaction with nature, which can accelerate processes of personal development and changes in behavior and emotional experience. At the same time, it offers inspiration and tools for further work with this method in one's own practice.
