Outward Bound, Belgium

Existing since 1977, we are dedicated to providing opportunities for personal and professional development primarily through outdoor experience-based training.At the heart of our work is a firm belief in learning through experience and a deep respect for each individual learner.
We use the context of the outdoors to create a safe and stimulating forum in which participants can explore their own functioning and potential as a member of a group, and gain an enhanced awareness of themselves and their relations with others within their broader social or professional environment.
All of our programs are tailor-made programs. We are committed to serving a broad population and use the profits from our management programs to actively sponsor individuals and groups who would otherwise not be able to take part in a program. www.outwardbound.be
