Nature connection - experienced connection to oneself, to others and to nature - is presently assumed as a precondition for responsible and future oriented living (c.f. Quartier, pg. 16) and hence considered to be the overall objective of the project. That is why three organisations active in sectors vocational training (D), adult education (S), community education (RO) exchange their approaches in nature experiential education in their typical landscapes. In each of the 3 short term learning experiences a total of 24 beneficiaries (staff and students) of BSH der Hoffbauer gGmbH, Sjöviks Folkhögskola and Outward Bound Romania will live the Swedish concept Friluftsliv, the commonly in Germany practiced concept of Coyote Mentoring as well as adventure educational activities at Outward Bound Romania. The activities are going to be prepared during a project meeting in Romania in October 2019. Project outcomes are going to be shared with a broad public during a project meeting in Germany in May 2022. The duration of the project is scheduled for 36 months. The exchange will focus on 3 main objectives:-Getting to know approaches of the partners on outdoor expriential learning, the landscapes as well as regional characteristics. For that every partner is preparing a 10 day learning experience for the other partners. -Complementary to each partner´s educational profile the international experiences of those exchanges will be assured in form of a concluding companion with guidelines as a didactic and professional review by the other partners.-A practically oriented transfer of international experiences shall result in a Coyote Camp as a unique form of inservice training at Internationaler Spielmarkt 2022 which is visited by a broad range of professionals of all sectors of education. Hence the results could effect not only a whole region but also spread around Europe. Besides intercultural exchange, ecologic education and personal development the applied project is about-initiating different forms of learning by practical and playbased activity under professional guidance -the common establishing of the basics (methods, learning places in the wilderness, safety precautions, outdoor gear) so that beneficiaries will be able to feel safe and at home in nature-teaching and acquiring of so called primitive skills (putting up a camp, making fire, building shelters, etc.), practicing mentoring tools and core routines of nature connection (art of questioning, awareness raising techniques, sitspot, animal forms, story of the day, etc.), making own outdoor gear (snow shoes, foldable saw, cooking utensils) as well as methods of reflexion (e.g. talking circle, ...). For German, Swedish and Romanian outdoor mentors for experiential learning the focus is on practicing, attempting and reconsidering professional competences and developing language skills, social and organisational competences.For Swedish full-time Friluftsliv/Hantverk/Ledarskap students, German future childcare practitioners and youth workers as well as for customers of OB Romania the main objectives are self development, acquiring practical wilderness skills, expressing their needs and wishes in English, getting to know representatives of other cultures. Because of the encounter of representatives of three nations all partcipants share a common culture in which appreciation rather than competition have priority. Concerning communication using the English language will create connection. By close contact with the wilderness and the group partcipants will get into touch with their roots and their own rythm. So they will develop an understanding for their needs, they will set priorities and overcome fears. That will change their routines in the long run. They will connect their senses, their thinking and their imagination with the world around them and hence they will care for it. No matter where based in the future participants will be able to implement acquired competences by exhibiting appropriate attitudes and routines when collaborating with others and the greater community of life. As an innovative element all participants will keep and feed a personal Nature Connection Learning Journal that is being developed before the project activities are taking place. The most valuable outcomes that participants are willing to share will find their way into the European Companion of Outdoor Experiental Learning. It is considered to be one of the final outcomes of the project.By organising Coyote Camp as an inservice training for a broad professional public and spreading innovative didactic materials to support experiential learning outdoors the partners will have gone a pioneering step disseminating project results. This will foster development for sustainable education not only within participants of the project but the whole community. Quartier, Ulrike et.al.: Weltsprache Natur.
