Question : what is for “Outdoor”?

Student M.D.Outdoor is a teaching method used to improve the team spirit, but most of all is a personal experience used to individuate our inner abilities. It serves the purpose of developing our self – esteem, and to trust in our capabilities. Outdoor would have good effect in the personal and working life. We learn how to face problems and not to escape from them,It’s not “I don’t do it” but It’s “How could I do It?”

Student C.A.Outdoor is used to know everything We need in our life: that is the courage, the strenght of will, the responsibility and the commitment to reach the aim.


Outcomes of the follow up realized after 3 weeks from the end of Outcomes of the follow up realized after 3 weeks from the end of the “Outdoor” sessionthe “Outdoor” session


Question : Did You think You would be able to manage? Why?

Student S.S.Actually I didn’t think I could succeed in what I have done. The reason is that I was

ever been a person with a very low trust in her own abilities, and sometimes I tend to give up at the first difficulties even without trying. All is due to my very low self-esteeem and to my stubbornness. With “Outdoor” experience, which was not at all simple, I could improve myself and see each problem in a critical way, with the awareness that I could manage as everybody could.

Student G.C.At the beginning I didn’t know anything about “Outdoor”, then when I saw What It

was about I thought that It was simple. Then I had to change my mind and I understood that I had to use my brain to reach our purposes. And I got It also thanks to my fellows’ help.

Question: how did You take to the end the activity?

Student M.D.I think I could take to the end the activity thanks to who was trying to help me and

thanks to myself, because I tried to take out my pride and to face my fears, most of all the fear of not feeling like the others.

Student G.C.Making me courage when I was going on, and at the end when I reach the aim I was

happy.
