Project description:

“CLIMB INTO YOUTHWORK” where we will be exploring climbing as the primary tool for youth work. So climbing all day long on the Granit rock. This project is only for people with climbing experience and the ability to climb on rock 5 level minimum, including lead climbing

We believe in the potential of combining climbing activities with experiential education approaches as a
tool for promoting social inclus ion, under s tanding and tolerance between young people from different cultures and backgrounds. For the last two years, Lernlabor has run a local climbing project in Berlin with participants from diverse backgrounds and we have witnessed first hand the impact that it has for educational attainment, personal development, and developing a sense of place and civic engagement. Now we would like to share our experience with you in the format of an 8 day Training Course in Spain, where we will train both the soft and hard skills necessary to use climbing as an effective learning tool in youth work, as well as exploring the options for funding future educational projects in the framework of the Erasmus+ programme.

Please see the info-pack for the rest 🙂
