GENERAL OBJECTIVES

  • To deal with human relationships in a deeper way, highlighting companionship, care, co-operation between individuals, the importance of "other people" and affection;
  • To understand the relationships that the human beings have with nature, with space and with each other, because we believe that only when you deal and change values you are actually working with EE.
  • The participants are directed to work their sensitivity, their feelings and their intuition. The activities are not about reasoning, but about emotional aspects. They were prepared by a group of psychologists, and include relaxing activities, interaction between people and of them with the environment. Our objective is to shake the human beings' deeper values, rooted in their interior.
  • To provide to the participants experiences in natural areas, in situations where they have to face fear, fascination, insecurity and limitations regarding nature;
  • During some of the activities coordinated by our interpreters, develop the participants creativity, curiosity and joy.
  • To get to know some extremely beautiful landscapes and where there are many different ecosystems, putting the participants in touch with environments and cultures which are not familiar to them;
  • To develop the ability of looking (seeing) what is put into reality, trying to develop a methodology of field observation.
  • To increase the perceptive universe, allowing new ways of dealing with the environment which surrounds us;
  • To develop a new posture facing knowledge, be it formal, or not;
  • To get to know and discuss our Country's institutional policies regarding environment, nature, culture and history conservancy;
