🇵🇱 Erasmus+ Training Course 🌲 Nature as a Classroom: The Journey Towards Outdoor Education — Dobczyce, Poland 🇵🇱
Are you a youth worker, trainer, or youth leader looking to bring nature back into your educational practice? You can join an Erasmus+ training course in Dobczyce, Poland, focused entirely on outdoor education and survival skills as powerful tools for modern youth work. Over 9 days you will develop hands-on competences in wilderness navigation, shelter-building, and environmental awareness, while discovering how these experiences can foster personal growth, resilience, teamwork, and environmental stewardship among young people. No participation fee, accommodation and meals fully covered, and travel reimbursed — plus a Youthpass certificate upon completion. Deadline to apply: 20 April 2026.
🏔️ Did You Know? Dobczyce is a small town in the Lesser Poland region, set alongside the Dobczyce Reservoir — a scenic artificial lake surrounded by forested hills. It’s one of the most peaceful and nature-rich corners of southern Poland, making it a perfect backdrop for a training course on outdoor education.
