The H4U manual consists of the know-how in NFE (non-formal education), NFE in and through sport, and experiential learning as the critical skills needed for delivering effective H4U methodologies. Through the upcoming chapters, readers will have the opportunity to learn more about NFE and how to prepare and lead NFE practices that are based on sport. By getting familiar with experiential learning, readers can facilitate interactive and reflective sport-based educational experiences of intergenerational groups at H4U activities.
Also, working with intergenerational groups requires specific know-how on facilitation and meeting the needs of diverse generations, but also addresses behavioral challenges that might arise. Lastly, this manual will offer eight innovative and tailor-made methodologies that can be easily applied in the work of hiking clubs, youth organizations, and eco camps. Each methodology is easily adjusted to diverse contexts but addresses different aspects of environmental protection and inclusion through intergenerational cooperation.
