As a part of the JUPPO Project – Expert Training and Structural Networking as Key Actors in Preventing Addiction in BiH, the 4th module entitled Pedagogy of Experience and Environment II was held on Bjelašnica at Maršal Hotel from 15 to 18 September 2015. The trainers of the module were Beate Einetter from Klagenfurt and Ewald SpieĂźmayr-Bernardino from Ansfeldena in Austria. On the fourth-in-a-row module of Pedagogy of Experience II of the JUPPO Project we had the opportunity not only to learn and participate in all the exercises and activities that the trainers had prepared for us in practice, but also to place ourselves in a different, new role. This role is well-known to all of us and is an integral part of our everyday lives, but during the JUPPO module, this was the first opportunity to try and prove ourselves in the role of a Trainer/Activity Manager.
All the participants had the task of managing activities, and then reflect on them, which was proven to be very successful precisely because we managed to overcome all the challenges. We performed outdoor exercises; a treasure hunt, candid camera, croc swamp, ballancing a ball, a maze of challenges, water as the source of life. True, some of the challenges we didn’t overcome entirely, but that is also a part of the learning process. As a group and individually we experienced the first peak of teamwork which we practically confirmed by climbing the peak of Bjelašnica. High up we also focused on the future peaks of teamwork, i.e. structural networking of our central organisations. The Project is realised by the Association for Preventing Addiction NARKO-NO from Sarajevo.
