The Adventure Education minor is run in cooperation with the HUMAK University of Applied Sciences in Tornio, Finland. You will learn to use challenging, sports-related activities in a professional way in order to improve people’s personal, social and professional skills.
Learning by doing
The act of ‘doing’ can be a powerful way of teaching new skills and attitudes. ‘Doing’ can take on many forms: acting, actions, activities and experiences – in short, ‘doing’ is any situation in which people are ‘actively’ involved.
