The morning was dedicated to analysis and reflection on yesterday’s hike. We asked ourselves: Was it truly educational? Were the responsibilities shared equally among the team? What were the main outcomes? This reflective activity helped us evaluate the experience and prepare to apply the principles of outdoor adventure education in our own contexts. The session concluded with an open debate, during which participants presented well-prepared arguments and expressed their views eloquently.

In the afternoon, we focused on follow-up procedures and the development of our own outdoor adventure education activities. Each national team worked collaboratively to design a plan and then presented it to the group. The following round of questions and suggestions made the discussion both fruitful and inspiring.

We wrapped up the day with a group reflection on the overall experience, feeling energized and ready for the final day of the training course. After dinner, we gathered once more for a storytelling evening, where everyone shared personal stories from their travels, projects, and professional experiences. The atmosphere was warm and friendly, and it reminded us of the many things that unite us

# data[].attributes.body
Morning:Participants were given some time in the morning to prepare for the day. Afterwards, everyone gathered to make the final logistical arrangements for the upcoming hike. Together, we went through a checklist of the materials and food needed. The activity team then led a short stretching session and a mindful moment to start the day in a calm and focused way.

Hike:

Once our tour guide joined us, we began the hike with a short introduction to the route. The hike lasted approximately 4 to 4.5 hours, covering about 8 km on a circular trail starting and ending at Porto Moniz Church. The route included gentle uphill paths, a flat section along the Levada Grande, and a scenic descent through Caminho Real 23, offering views of the ocean, vineyards, and local villages. The trail combined cobblestone paths, forested tracks, and agricultural roads, providing a moderate level of difficulty and beautiful scenery throughout.

At the final point, we gathered for a short reflection and a mindful closing activity to end the hike peacefully.

Evening:

After dinner, participants organized a karaoke night, enjoying music, relaxation, and a fun evening together.

# data[].attributes.body
Morning Session:
We started the day with a cheerful energiser to get everyone in a good mood. Afterwards, we discussed the needs and preparations for the outdoor expedition planned for the next day. Participants then volunteered to form two groups: the logistics team and the activity team.

The logistics team prepared a checklist of all personal and common essentials required for the expedition, while the activity team planned the energisers, reflections, and activities to be done during the hike.

Afternoon Session:
After lunch, we visited the Porto Moniz Aquarium, where participants had the chance to explore local marine life. Later, we went together to Praia do Seixal, the beautiful black sand beach, and spent some relaxing and enjoyable time there as a group.

Evening:
After dinner, participants spent their free time in mixed groups, enjoying the evening in a social atmosphere.

# data[].attributes.body
Morning Session: We started the day with some energisers — to wake up, get to know each other better and check if all names have been learnt. After that we moved to a workshop room and started to elaborate on the concept of Outdoor Adventure Education (OAE). Through brainstorming we came up with a definition and characteristics of it. When we went on "Socrates walk" when participants shared their personal experience and discussed examples of educational adventures. Then we made a "Philosophers circle" where significant issues of outdoor learning were raised and discussed in a formate of an open debate. After that we came back and with the help of "World Cafe" tool and "A startup game" tried to create OAE prrojects following certain conditions. It sparked a big interest in the topic and helped to get closer to the main objectives of the project.

Afternoon Session:
We started the afternoon by coming together to make a short plan for the upcoming cultural night. Then, we moved on to a short discussion on the topic of trust, where participants reflected on a few individual questions.

After that, we went outside for some outdoor activities. As an energiser, we played the “Building Up a Statue” game, where groups of 2–4 people used their bodies to represent different objects. It was a fun and creative activity that made everyone laugh and collaborate.

Next, we continued with the first stage of our team-building activities — the “Ball Carrying” game. Participants worked in pairs to carry a ball without using their hands, competing in two teams. Afterward, we had a short reflection on some key moments from the game, focusing on teamwork and communication.

We then moved on to the “Trust Walk” activity. Participants worked in pairs — one person was blindfolded while the other acted as a guide, leading them through a short walk. After the activity, everyone shared their experiences and thoughts during a reflection. It turned out to be a meaningful and effective exercise.

To close the day, we held a general reflection session about the day’s activities.

Evening Activity:
In the evening, we enjoyed the cultural night of Estonia, Poland, France, and the Netherlands. Participants presented their traditional food and shared interesting aspects of their cultures, creating a warm and lively atmosphere.

# data[].attributes.body
Morning Session: We started the day with some energisers — stretching and a dance leader game to wake up and have fun together. Then we played “Dragon–Princess,” a simple name game to help everyone learn each other’s names. In pairs, participants created their own handshakes and showed them to the group. Since we have a diverse group, we played “International Broken Phone,” using words from different languages, which led to lots of laughs. After that, we had a short introduction to the PDA project and shared our experiences in youth work. To finish the morning, everyone picked an object from nature and told a short story inspired by it.

Afternoon Session: After lunch, we did a “Speed Friending” activity to get to know each other better. Most of the questions were based on the OAE method. Then we moved on to “Mission Impossible,” the first teamwork activity of the week. Participants had 12 tasks to complete in one hour, and with good teamwork and communication, all tasks were finished successfully. After presenting the results, we introduced Padlet as a tool for sharing and reflection. Together, we agreed on our ground rules, making sure everyone’s opinion was included. We ended the session with a short reflection.

Evening Activity: In the evening, participants joined the “Me & My Organisation” session, where they shared how they got involved in Erasmus and their organisations.

From the first day, the group showed great teamwork and a positive atmosphere.

Morning activity: we started the morning with revising the basics of OAE and then imagined our ideal projects in order to get a starting point and set for the day. Then we used SWOT analysis as a tool to discover different sides of OAE and get a deeper understanding of the topic. Participants collaborated in mini groups and then presented their vision in front of everyone. In the second half of the morning session we covered a topic of target audience, to better understand for whom we are going to start projects using OAE. We came up with a portrait of a participant and presented it in a creative way: imagined that we had a pitching session.

Afternoon activity: after the lunch break the session was aimed at leadership skills and communication. We kicked off with the storytelling about history of outdoor adventure education. Then we discussed skills a facilitator needs and three aspects asked from a leader: task management, group creation and development and individual development of participants. We paid extra attention to group forming and stages of its functioning. After that we learnt new information about management styles and shared it in a role play way, followed by discussion and questions-answers session. The aim was to analyze your own management style and see what matches different situations. Case study method was applied for doing that and it provoked insightful discussion. We reflected on that productive day and shared outcomes.

Evening: today International night was provided by Serbia, Slovenia and Türkiye and to tell more we even had a chance to learn about origin of one of the participants which is Iraq. We tried national food, listened and sang different songs and learnt Serbian and Turkish dances. It was full of laugh, new knowledge and interesting conversations.

✨ Important to know:

• 🧹 There will be no cleaning staff, participants are fully responsible for keeping the house clean and well-maintained.

• 🍽️ Everyone must clean up after themselves in all areas of the house (kitchen, bathrooms, bedrooms, and common spaces).

• 🤝 Collaboration is essential: by helping each other, we ensure a respectful and welcoming environment.

🛏️ Rooms

The bedrooms will be shared between 4–8 people, mixing nationalities and ensuring a true intercultural experience.

🎒 What to Bring

To make your stay more comfortable, we recommend you bring:

The training will take place in Porto Moniz, a beautiful town on the north coast of Madeira Island. Porto Moniz is famous for its natural volcanic swimming pools, where the ocean fills crystal-clear pools surrounded by black lava rocks. 🌊🌋

Madeira is also called the “Island of Eternal Spring” because of its mild weather all year round. The island is full of green mountains, waterfalls, and the unique Laurissilva Forest, which is protected by UNESCO. 🌿

A fun fact: Madeira has some of the highest sea cliffs in Europe, and from the coast you can often see dolphins swimming in the Atlantic Ocean. 🐬 This makes Porto Moniz the perfect place for outdoor activities, learning in nature, and enjoying an unforgettable experience together.

# data[].attributes.body
Swim in the Natural Pools – The most famous attraction! Volcanic lava rocks form pools filled with clear seawater.

Visit the Aquarium – A small aquarium inside a 17th-century fort, showing the local marine life of Madeira. 🐠

Explore the Laurissilva Forest – Hiking trails nearby take you through the UNESCO-protected ancient forest. 🌿

Check the Viewpoints – Porto Moniz has several breathtaking viewpoints (miradouros) where you can see the mountains meet the Atlantic Ocean.

Discover Lava Caves (São Vicente, close by) – Just a short trip away, you can explore volcanic caves and learn how Madeira was formed. 🌋

Relax by the Ocean – Simply walking around the seaside promenade and enjoying the dramatic waves is already a great experience.
