Educational Project
Ice Forest
The mission of Ice Forest Programs is to always offer a challenge to youngsters that are looking for a path to higher education. The Ice Forest´s programs are 10 to 150 days long and are an opportunity to live, explore and learn in some of the most amazing places in Europe and America.
Our programs try to put you in a safe environment where you can be the actor of your learning, developing your competences in critical thinking, your creativity, communications and team-work.
Our proposal aims to be much more than a leisure offer for the summer. We seek to develop personal and social skills in our young participants. Over the years we have been defining a manual for "Leaders in Training" that serves as a script for our activities and develops these themes:
Leadership.
Goals of the program. Definition. Treats, Values and Values to develop. Our world needs leaders.
Personal and Social Skills
Learning. Communication. Positive Inner Voice. Creativity. Asertivity. Empathy
Leadership and Management
Set and get the goals. Master communicator. Conflict management. Time management. Positive attitude. Motivate and inspire others.
In our work as mentors and cicerones we try to pose more questions than answers and awaken critical thinking among the young people who accompany us on our travels. In no case do we intend to say what to think, we only propose that we think and that we do it without conditions, with joy and good vibes. We call our system: Skin in the game.
Some of the ideas and discussion topics that I
propose to facilitate communication have been organized in three
small books. Here you can see what we talk about during the
activities:
- Towards the Minimum: Path to freedom. Minimalism
- Copos de Nieve y otros Gilipollas. Critical Thinking
- Pensamiento Crítico: Some Resources.
- Fuera del Sistema. Thinking about our society.
You can also get these paper manuals at Amazon.
