LaFOra – Learning Families Outside
The project aims to explore how non-formal experiential outdoor activities delivered within a family context can
improve technical, personal and social skills, including self esteem and confidence of the adults and children involved.
The target group includes immigrants, Roma, rurally isolated and unemployed adults with few or no formal
qualifications and families where the children are under-achieving at school. Activities developed by partners will
encourage social integration and active citizenship, promote intercultural understanding and develop healthy lifestyles.
