2023-2026. The EU project is called Key action-2 partnership. It has four partner NGOs and the purpose is to educate leaders/youth workers in the method adventure learning, and in the process of travel/adventure explore and strengthen European identity.
The funding is partly for non-formal learning activities (Sometimes on board a rented boat, sometimes more forest oriented)
The rented boat is s/y Bon Aventura that will take shorter and longer educational trips with participants.
The aim is to meet other NGOs and make lots of inspirational / educational videos that talk about; adventure and learning and to some extent European identity.

The adventure learning method
How can an adventurous situation enhance learning different competences? Everything from the obvious; boatmanship, sailing, navigation, mechanic and electrical skills. But also; team building, creativity, organizational skills, leadership. At times done under stress full situations that have real risks and consequences.
While living onboard there will also be development in communication, cultural skills, civic competence. Since the project is “open” there will be lots of documentation and story telling (inspiring others). And all the time – personal development; encouraging; curiosity, boldness, self awareness, entrepreneurship…

Comment
The adventure learning method can off course be applied in many situations that are signified by: real live situations, with aspects of uncertainty, risk-reward, physical challenges, positive stress, accountability for personal actions, and often in nature. It is often signified by demanding full attention from the participant. It could be hiking in forest or mountain, canoeing, bicycling, different adventure sports – and on top of that adding situations with tuition/coaching/workshops. And situations of trial and error where applicable.
It implies not only learning practical specific skills, but a more holistic learning situation that also encompasses the competence aspect of “attitude”.
Sailing may seam like a inaccessible activity for most, but Sweden is known for its vast archipelagos that is accessible for anyone with a boat, and small boats can be very cheap in Sweden (if knowing where to look), if being able to overcome lack of equipment with skill.
