We conducted a transformative 5-day outdoor learning program from September 23-27, 2024, at Pontus Beach, Brufut. This unique experience took students beyond classroom walls, offering them hands-on learning in a serene, inspiring environment. The program aimed to instill creativity, critical thinking, and resilience, equipping students with skills needed for their future careers.
Students engaged in various activities daily from 8:15 AM to 3:00 PM. Day 1 focused on creativity, beginning with mathematical games and a painting session encouraging students to explore art and career development. Day 2 emphasized tradition, with lessons in natural traditional braids, personal hygiene, and language improvement, preparing students for professional and personal growth.
On Day 3, students learned tailoring through hand-sewing, complemented by public speaking and poetry sessions to boost their confidence and communication skills. Day 4 was dedicated to catering, food hygiene, and menu preparation, where students explored culinary arts.
The week ended on Day 5 with a group cooking competition, where teams showcased their skills under time pressure, emphasizing creativity, teamwork, and leadership, and team “fotee” emerged as the winners in the cooking competition. The event concluded with reflective interviews, allowing students to share insights about their personal and professional growth throughout the week.
Our outdoor learning program goes beyond skill-building, fostering confidence, ambition, and a sense of community. This holistic learning approach ensures students are not only prepared for careers in fields like catering and tailoring but are also equipped with the life skills needed to succeed in any environment. Through experiences like these, we are shaping futures, and providing skills training that prepares students for success beyond the classroom and textbooks.
