How is Outdoor Learning used to motivate and develop employees in other countries

How Outdoor Learning is developing in Europe and in the world, and what are the forecasts for the future. We will provide examples from abroad and present conclusions from the research on the effectiveness of Outdoor Learning prepared for CIE by the University of Edinburgh. The webinar will be held in English with the participation of experts from the University of Edinburgh and practitioners from the Scottish Venture Trust.

PROGRAMME OF THE WEBINAR
• Presentation and discussion of research results that show the personal development of FOLM participants and the development of their soft skills based on the Edinburgh Model.
• HR problems - European problems, not only Polish. Outdoor Learning is a universal method of solving these kind of problems.
• Cross-sectoral cooperation in improving the labour market. How local government, companies and universities together oppose unemployment thanks to Outdoor Learning.
The participants of the webinar will learn from the creators of this approach how many common challenges we have on the European labour market and how they solve the problem of unemployment in other countries thanks to Outdoor Education. The speakers will also share their experiences with Outdoor Learning in Scotland and Spain and its effect in reducing unemployment and motivating employees.
The participant will also:
• have the opportunity to ask questions from experts on a global scale.
• learn how to combine outdoor activities, digitization and staff development.
