▶Objectives
The project will develop a training program based in outdoor learning methodologies to create an alternative, appealing and engaging means to connect with students that are about to graduate and enter the labour market. HED teachers will learn the theoretical/practical aspects of the Outdoor Learning model and, with aid of expert partners, train the trainers. Through the program, participants will gain knowledge in their strengths/talents, soft skills, build self-esteem and fortify employability
▶Activities
The training course (MOOC- OUT-DOOR from University to Work) will be structured in 6 training modules and will be designed to be implemented in blended mode. The MOOC will consist in 6 hours of theoretical training (Modules 1 to 5) via online platform + at least 4 hours of workshops and outdoor training (Module 6). Each training module will be designed to train key competences for living and working on the XXI century.
