Dates: 3–11 October 2026

Venue: Szeged, Hungary

Sending Organisation: ACPELIA

ACPELIA is looking for 2 motivated participants from Cyprus to take part in the Erasmus+ Training Course “Outdoor Education”, which will take place in Szeged, Hungary, from 3 to 11 October 2026. The activity is organised by Eurotender Association and focuses on using nature and outdoor activities as powerful tools for learning, personal development, environmental education, teamwork and leadership.

🌳 About the Training Course

Outdoor Education is designed for people who work with young people and would like to enrich their educational practice through experiential and non-formal learning methods.

Throughout the training, participants will explore how nature and outdoor activities can be used as a medium for:

personal growth and self-development;
environmental education;
team building;
trust and cooperation;
creativity and well-being;
leadership development;
inclusion;
creating meaningful learning experiences for young people.

Participants will not only receive new methods but will also be encouraged to contribute their own experiences, ideas and practices. Although the main theme is outdoor education, some activities will also take place indoors when specific facilities or infrastructure are needed.

🎯 What Will We Learn?

The programme gradually develops participants' understanding and practical use of outdoor education:

Date	Main Theme
3 October	Arrival
4 October	Team Building & Setting Roots
5 October	Foundations of Outdoor Education
6 October	Learning Through Nature
7 October	Nature, Creativity & Well-being
8 October	Building Trust & Leadership
9 October	Inclusion in the Outdoors
10 October	From Practice to Implementation & Wrap-up

The methodology is based mainly on non-formal education and learning by doing rather than traditional classroom teaching. Activities will be facilitated by experienced trainers and will encourage active participation, peer learning and exchange of ideas.
