Are you looking for your ultimate summer learning opportunity?
Do you like outdoor activities and would you like to learn how to cooperate with others more efficiently?
Would you like to discover alternative learning environments?

In Connection is all about exploring simple ways on how to work together with others while creating a common living space and designing various games outside in the nature. The idea of the project is to create a playful environment in which you will be encouraged to explore your own capabilities, to put your values into practice and be inspired by yourself and others.

During these dynamic 12 days you will have the chance to
discover:
– how you can include yourself in a group
– what are your unique strengths and how can you use them
– how to cooperate with others towards a common goal
– how you can connect with others from different countries
