Training course Ecological Approach to Facilitating Non Formal Learning Activities

In term 14. - 21.05.2024 the team LESs Stress  participated in Erasmus + project (2023-1-PL01-KA153-YOU-000144143) "Ecological Approach to Facilitating Non Formal Learning Activities". It took place in Italy and there were 35 participants from 8 countries.

Rysy Foundaton (www.fundacjarysy.pl) and Oriel Association (www.orielassociation.com) were two organizing associations.

The main topic of this Training course was ecopsychology and eco-facilitation. Ecopsychology, a branch of psychology established in the 90s, believes mental health and wellbeing can be improved by fostering healthy relationships with the environment and community. This has led to the development of eco-facilitation, a profession that helps youth workers enhance the impact of their work through eco-facilitation principles and tools.

The training course for eco youth work aimed to transfer these principles and tools to youth workers who already provide support activities through training, mentoring, learning facilitation, counseling or therapy. We learned eco-facilitation principles and tools through preparation activities, including positive psychology and nature connectedness tests, followed by non-formal education activities.

At the end of the trainee course we created action plans how to integrate eco-based techniques into our youth work.

Institut Euroschola had three actions planes how to disseminate what we learned among young people:

1. Project "Stress Management in business", which Institut EuroSchola manages in cooperation with organisation MSIC Ostrava. In this project we learned young students - starting entrepreneurs - how to cope their stress with the help of nature and nature therapy. This event took place on May 31.

2. LESs Stress project "Children´s Stress and its management according to the concept of natural therapy" - we learned teachers how they can work with children´s stress according to the concept of natural therapy. This event took place on June 14.

3. Summer LESs Stress Camp "Stress Management and Nature Therapy" - this course will be in July 2024, it is designed for university students.
