Sustainability and Environmental Education in outdoor sport
Where Sports Meet Nature
13-15 NOVEMBER 2023, BURG SCHWANECK, MUNICH
The partners of the Sustainability and Environmental Education in Outdoor Sports project (SEE) invite you to attend the final Project Learning Symposium in Munich from the 13th – to 15th of November, 2023. The main program scheduled for the 14th of November.
The SEE Project aims to enhance the protection of natural landscapes through education in and through sport with special focus on responsible outdoor behaviour and skills development for outdoor sports leaders, trainers, guides, or instructors.
During the SEE Learning Symposium, hosted at the beautiful Burg Schwaneck just outside of Munich, attendees will learn about today’s challenges and opportunities regarding outdoor sports practiced in (protected) natural areas and how to address these through newly developed training methodologies in outdoor sports education.
The programme
The symposium is an opportunity to bring together an international audience from both the outdoor sports sector and the environmental protection sector to share ideas, transfer knowledge and work on future collaborations. The program will include ample opportunities to learn and network from one another through various facilitated networking sessions with project partners and experts, interactive activities, and demonstrations of the SEE Educational Toolkit.
The learning symposium will be a full-day programme (Tuesday) which includes practical workshop sessions where partner organisations of the project will demonstrate several toolkit activities. In addition to the toolkit demonstration, the program will include inspirational speeches from leaders in environmental activism, networking activities, dinner, and social program in the evening.
Extend your stay and join the SEE project partners for an early bird outdoor activity on Wednesday morning followed by workshop session and a deep dive networking session which will focus on specific topics related to different environments and sport type.
***A more detailed programme will be available soon.
