Dear partners, Welcome to Back to Nature Project to start a trip to Nature and take a deep breath!

It will be a pleasure to work together in Bolu for this project which is going to be a intense experience. We will work in an intercultural/international team through outdoor activities, how nature can be useful to explore relationships between cultures and to highlight differences in a creative way. The work we will develop in the international team will be focused on a theme: education in nature. We will therefore spend many times in nature and explore how can we make a forest our school for youth work.

We will discuss the problems that human faces when living so far from the nature as well!

Each partner organizations will not only send participant but also contribute to the activities to reach our project goals. The project will have an impact on international level. We have a really colorful and multicultural team and we would like to use this differences as our resources for activities.

Briefly, we would like to thank you again and invite you to contribute all parts of project. We hope we will spend 8 full fun and activity training course and we are so excited to meet you!

‘‘Time to fix the broken relations between human and nature’’

Back to Nature [Outdoor Training] is an experiential and adventure based approach within a non-

formal educational context. The project aims to contribute to the personal and social development of youngsters and youth workers, raising the public awareness about healthy life and fixing the broken relations with nature. On the other hand, the project aims to promote and disseminate technical and educational practices in the field of outdoor activities and education in nature. The project focus on nature education and nature will be used as a laboratory. The participants will have chance to work in an intercultural atmosphere.

EDUCATION IN NATURE GUIDE In order to have a concrete output of our training course and disseminate our project results we will elaborate a guide called ‘Education in Nature Guide’. We will work in groups to share experiences, learn from each other and create a mutual understanding atmosphere. During training course we will use participants experiences and ideas to create a concept for guide. After training course each partner D organization will be responsible to disseminate results and maybe the guide will be translated andC published in partner countries.
