Learning leadership, guidance and group dynamics in the outdoors

What?

Take an active break in nature and experience …

Companionship - fantastic landscapes - learn about guidance and group dynamics - personal development - cooking on the bonfire - sleeping in the outdoors - exciting encounters with colleagues of yours

We will dive into the topics of systemic leadership, guidance and group dynamics by using experience based and interactive methods. On the fly, you will learn basic outdoor skills such that we can enjoy a fun and somewhat luxurious time in nature together, e.g. how to set up a tarp to sleep below. After all, we will gain useful skills and insights that can be incorporated into everyday life, where you are constantly leading and being led by friends, partners, students, supervisors, and so on.
