Carving in nature - Workshop

TRADITIONAL CRAFTS WORKSHOP

The application of old handicraft techniques for the independent production of traditional everyday objects and equipment, which can be used directly on tours, for example, makes it clear in a very impressive way what your own hands are capable of achieving. The feeling of self-efficacy and self-determination plays a central role here, as well as pure joy and pride in the self-made workpiece.
This approach clearly demonstrates the focus of experience-based learning in the Friluftsliv (Swedish for "free-air life") and the strong link between theoretical and practical knowledge. The participants experienced intensively the effort and time required to produce a spoon or butter knife, for example, and thus developed a better understanding of real production processes and the value of products.
