What is it all about?
Our mission is to encourage people to discover their potential through challenging experiences in the outdoors. It is all about the adventure – meeting the challenges, stretching beyond the limits and developing courage, resilience, persistence, responsibility, adaptibility, integrity, compassion and the ability to work well with others.
Human empathy
…involves consideration not only for the students‘ own responsibilites, but also for the others involved, and being sensitive to their needs. This mutual support assists in developing trust within a team, and creating a sense of belonging. Being socially competent means being able to reflect about one’s own place within a group or a company, in addition to dealing appropriately with peers and superiors. We reveal ways in which relationships in everyday life and at the workplace can be improved by respecting and valuing others‘ opinions and differences – such as gender and diversity.
Care and responsibility
…entails individuals being responsible for themselves, their team, the nature around them, and her material resources. The ability to work conscientiously and accurately promotes self-confidence and trust within the team. We reveal ways for the students to directly feel the consequences of their own decision-making. In our programs, the impact of the students‘ punctuality or tardiness, and respect or disrespect directly influences the relationship between themselves and their surrounding nature.
Endurance
…reveals itself in the ability not to give up, even when the situation is trying or unpleasant. This includes the readiness to actively applying oneself to a single task for an extended period of time, even if one hasn’t chosen the task oneself. We reveal ways how to learn endurance and stamina when dealing with challenges such as stress and time pressure, by confronting the students with unpredictable conditions such as weather, group conflicts and personal limits.
Taking the initiative
…encompasses voluntarily shaping the course of events, being constructively and critically encouraging in everyday life as well as in the company, thus contributing to a successful task outcome. Self-confidence, a clear view of the work ahead, the independent gathering of information and the acceptance of responsibility are what is needed. We reveal ways to provide the necessary room to encourage the students‘ own sense of responsibility and initiative in solving existing challenges by setting relevant tasks, where they have to find their own solutions and decisions.
