The SEE International Learning Symposium

November 2023

The partners of the SEE Project invite you to attend the final Project Learning Symposium in Munich from the 13th – to the 15th of November 2023.

Over the last three years, Leave No Trace Ireland has led the Erasmus+ programme, the Sustainability and Outdoor Education (SEE) project.

“This project aims to enhance the protection of natural landscapes through education in and through sport with special focus on responsible outdoor behaviour and skills development for outdoor sports leaders, trainers, guides, or instructors”

The Learning Symposium is an opportunity to bring together international audiences from both the outdoor sports sector and the environmental protection sector to share ideas, transfer knowledge and work on future collaborations.

During the SEE Learning Symposium, hosted at the beautiful Burg Schwaneck just outside of Munich, attendees will learn about current challenges and opportunities of outdoor sports practiced in (Protected) Natural Areas and how to address these through newly developed training methodologies in Outdoor Sports education.

Is this event for me?

If you are working in the outdoor sports sector, for a National Park or Protected Area, or with a guiding company, then this learning symposium is the best opportunity to gain new insights in the latest developments of sustainability and environmental education in outdoor sports, as well as providing a space for conversations that will strengthen the relationship between nature and the outdoor sport sector.

Call for Contributions

If your organisation has been involved in some aspect of innovative sustainable or environmental education practices, then we would love to hear about it and share your ideas with others.

We are offering organisations an opportunity to showcase their projects and activities through very short “lightning” presentations of no more than 5 minutes (an elevator pitch) or showcase your project by providing fliers, information at a table, a roll up or a poster.
