It was both challenging and thrilling. The beauty of surrounding area, the stillnes of the lake and the soothing sounds of nature were the best way to end this day. So gratefull and blessed. Loved also the outdoors workshop and climbing the tree as well as low ropes combinations that put us into some serious teamwork. We’re sure to take home and use lots of new and fun activities from today – both from Ulla’s spontanious showhow (thank you Ulla, you’re the best) and from Meri’s forrest playground. Ukulele session was fun – especially to Marija who’s son is a ukulele player and is up for a big surprise – he’s getting his first ukulele from Finland. Truly enjoying every moment here – from serious work to sauna and the lake dive to singing and dancing with the finnish teachers in the evening.” Teachers from Malta ”It’s not that we never had pancakes but when you have to do it from the scratch – make your own fire (if you’re lucky) and then make pancakes by holding a pan like the old days well that’s something special. Tuesday’s walk through the wood was an excellent expirience in many levels. First obstacle – crossing the river had us all thinking like one as we had to do some serious teamwork. And we DID IT!! We found many of activities aside of being fun for us will also usefull for our work so we’ll be taking them home with us. We enjoyed the nature – both plants, trees, fresh air and friskness of the air. Beautiful sunset at the lake was most amazing view. Looking forward to the days ahead and new things we learn.” Teachers from Croatia ” We came for ideas and to learn about how to get our children to learn outdoors but we received so much more. It is almost not describable in words. It was such a big added value for our lives as well. The whole week learned us things on very different levels: 1. What we came for: to get activities and ways to do outdoor learning with children 2. To inspire us on school level to help us implement this, work with colleagues and parents. 3. The goal of Erasmus: to make new friends, learn about the differences and similarities in Europa, to enjoy each others culture. 4. The enrichment for yourself: getting to know your inside better, getting grip of some problems or situations or thoughts. We are so grateful for this course, which is not ’just’ a course for us. A lot of that is thanks to the persons who are in the team of Sykli. We were inspired a lot!!!!!” Teachers from Belgium More information: SYKLI Environmental School of Finland / Phone: +358 50 529 6428 / e-mail: ymka@sykli.fi Registration form to the course » SYKLI Helsinki Malmin kauppatie 8 B, 4. krs. 00700 Helsinki info@sykli.fi info puh: 050 529 6428 SYKLI Riihimäki Kaartokatu 2 11100 Riihimäki (samoissa tiloissa kuin HAMK) info@sykli.fi info puh: 050 529 6428 Koulutusalat Koulutusalat Energiatehokkuus ja kiinteistön ylläpito Laatu-, ympäristö- ja turvallisuusjohtaminen Resurssitehokkuus Logistiikka Vesihuolto Ympäristöhuolto Ympäristökasvatus Koulutukset Koulutukset Koulutuskalenteri Tutkintoon valmistava koulutus Rekrytoivat koulutukset Opetushenkilöstön täydennyskoulutus Ota yhteyttä Yhteydenotto Henkilöstö Laskutustiedot Tietosuoja
