Experience Environment, Health and Nature Activities

Course Overview
This Erasmus+ course invites educators and professionals to explore the deep connections between environment, health, and education through sportive or interactive outdoor experiences in the breathtaking natural landscapes of Bregenz, Bregenzerwald and its surrounding area— a region uniquely situated between lake and mountains.
Combining environmental topics with physical activities and practical learning, this course provides fresh ideas and ready-to-use materials for classroom application, while also supporting personal wellbeing and sustainability awareness. In addition, participants learn how to improve their digital skills by completing digital tasks.
Course Highlights (depending on availability – program subject to change):
- The course offers a rich variety of outdoor activities like hiking in the Bregenzerwald Mountains or the Alps, along with an excursion to a site of ecological or environmental significance.
- Participants will engage in an upcycling and environmental project at a local recycling station or visit an organic farm, where they will gain insights into circular agriculture and receive practical tips for implementing a school garden.
- A hands-on fermentation workshop will highlight the connection between nutrition, gut health, and overall wellbeing.
The program also encourages participants to create digital media or local newspaper content — such as videos or photo stories — for use in school projects or on social media, supporting the development of digital skills. Throughout the week, there will be multiple opportunities for exchange and networking with colleagues from across Europe.
All content is designed to be classroom-ready.
These reports also serve to highlight and acknowledge the support of the European Union and to share insights from the course with a wider audience.
Please note that all outdoor activities will be adapted to the physical abilities of the participants. This ensures that everyone can take part comfortably and without feeling overwhelmed, regardless of their fitness level.
If you have any specific interests, we would be happy to incorporate them into the course.
Erasmus+ funding is available.
