Outdoor Learning – the benefits

Outdoor Learning is hugely beneficial to all who take part. This experiential style of learning helps participants to build on their personal and social skills and bolster their confidence.

Our slogan at Add-Venture is, ‘Realising Personal Potential’ because our team and our activities will help you do just that. The benefits listed below are just as powerful for young people at school as they are for fully grown adults in the workplace.

Huge benefits to the workforce:

• Appreciate your own strengths and weaknesses
• Understand the value of your contribution and appreciate the contribution that others make
• Encourage others to achieve
• Understand how your actions impact upon others
• Challenge intolerance and inflexibility
• Learn to trust others and not be afraid to accept their support
• Understand where people need support and provide it
• Develop people’s problem solving capabilities

Sizeable benefits to young people:

• Increase your self confidence and self esteem by completing challenges successfully
• Realise the importance of conservation and the natural world
• Broaden your interests and job opportunities
• Develop skills in problem solving, communication, leadership and teamwork
• Appreciate the need for physical fitness throughout life
• Exhibit a greater appetite for learning and education achievement
• Display examples of self-reliance, initiative, responsibility and perseverance

For all participants, we will debrief or review an activity. This reinforces learning and allows for reflection.
