A guide’s work with youngsters can only find its roots in a tight collaboration with teachers and counselors to develop educational goals and contents. A sinergy with the teaching staff means pairing classroom-based activities with outdoor activities during day hikes or longer vacations within nature.

This allows to develop the mountain and nature own educational contents, the core values of understanding, sharing of resources, relationships and mutual assistance, while allowing, at the same time, to discover a new world of vast landscapes, animals, plants, water, of new fears given by this new world that, shared with others, leads to new behaviours.

Welcome days are particularly effective to observe how students’ relations unfold in the natural environment, usually very differently than in the classroom environment. hikes or specific lectures on flora, fauna, landscape, architecture, history, ethnography and geography are always well received. Summer camps or winter holidays are fun and more complex occasions for youngsters to discover new things and relations.
