Goal of the activity was to teach urban kids to survive in wilderness.
Most of our members come from the city and have little to do with nature and wildlife. Few of our members took advantage of it and created a workshop focused on survival in the wilderness. It was also thematic because it was during our Big Team Building called Survivor.
Firstly organizers explained to us how to behave in the forest, what to do if we get lost or if we encounter wildlife. Then we proceeded to start a fire, make a shelter, find a source of water and other useful survival skills.
After the theoretical part, we gathered outside and proceeded to the practical part of our workshop which was obtaining the skill of starting a fire. Based on our newly acquired knowledge we tried our best to safely start a fire and then put it out.
At the end of our workshop all of us were able to successfully start a fire without lighter or matches or other source of fire and we were more prepared for venturing into the forest.
