The 1 st GATE theme is “Back to the Roots” and will be a celebration of the European history of the adventure therapy methodology.
The keynote speakers will be from the European community of elders and the participants from all nations interested in nature and outdoor based treatment programs. Adventure therapy is a way of working with youngsters that has already been extensively practiced and researched in the United States, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand. Interest in adventure therapy is growing among practitioners in Europe but there is no a formal network of AT professionals, organizations or researchers using this new and innovative approach.
This GATE is for all adventure therapists, adventure therapy programs, psychosomatic clinics, rehabilitation hospitals, child and youth mental health units and hospitals, or any other programs, institutes or individuals that aspire to do quality work with their clients. Round tables and workshops will provide room to share knowledge and experiences and there will be space to dream about the consolidation of The European Network of Adventure Therapy.
