On The Edge - Inspiring and Empowering Youth in Nature

 

On the Edge: Inspiring and Empowering Youth in Nature

May 30-June 3 & June 6-10, 2012

On the Edge: Inspiring and Empowering Youth in Nature, is about guiding youth positively and effectively. It provides a safe, collaborative environment in which powerful questions will be asked, techniques for mentoring, guiding, coaching, and facilitating will be outlined, and experiences from a wide variety of backgrounds will be shared.

This workshop, held in a beautiful natural setting on the edge of civilization, is designed to provide the place and time to connect and associate with others of diverse backgrounds but with a similar passion – working with youth. It is our goal to impart knowledge, share wisdom, and explore new possibilities and perspectives that will guide and empower today’s youth by offering experiences, knowledge and skills that have lifelong positive impacts.

It is our belief that holistic education plays a critical role in establishing a solid foundation for a fulfilling life. Holistic education is characterized by thinking that takes into account the meaning and the implication of our actions. It develops a depth of knowledge enriched by an understanding of systems and how one action can impact the whole. It connects young people to their world, their role therein, and their responsibility toward contributing to a sustainable future.

We invite you to join us in Sayward to look at new ways of working with youth so you can return to your communities and apply your learning in a way that impacts, strengthens and inspires you to continue making a difference in the lives of young people. This workshop will challenge, nourish, and inspire you.
