Experience, competence and innovation for further education, training and further education in the context of experiential education

The Academy of OUTWARD BOUND Germany combines further education, training and further education with the values and methods of experiential education. As the oldest experiential education institution in Germany, we create learning spaces in which people grow, take responsibility and develop their potential – practically, sustainably and with a view to the challenges of tomorrow.

Experience, competence and innovation for further education, training and further education in the context of experiential education

For over 70 years, OUTWARD BOUND Germany has combined two things with its holistic, action-oriented approach: tradition and innovation.

As a globally networked experiential education provider and member of OUTWARD BOUND International, OUTWARD BOUND Germany offers sustainable learning experiences in nature with its programs for personality and team development. A mindful approach to people and nature is the basis of OUTWARD BOUND’s work. The humanistic image of man and a climate-conscious, sustainable program design (leave no trace) are our guiding principles.

For more than 30 years, OUTWARD BOUND Germany has been offering training and further education in experiential education as well as nature & experience therapy with the Academy. Already in 1993 the first experiential education training (ZAB) of OUTWARD BOUND went on the German-speaking market and was a great success from the beginning. OUTWARD BOUND Germany is a member of the Bundesverband Individual- und Erlebnispädagogik (Federal Association for Individual and Experiential Education) and offers, in addition to the two training courses, a variety of advanced training courses that are structured according to national and international safety standards and are staffed with experienced trainers* who are qualified in pedagogy as well as in sports.
