- Why sailing? The sailboat "forced" cooperation. Confined spaces, the different tasks and roles to be taken to drive the boat, the natural insulation made from water, education in respect of sea navigation and planning are some of the features that make this sport for experience the outdoor training. The experience on a sailing boat can be considered a training very functional; In fact, the ability to cooperate as required by this micro system can be learned, internalized and re-used in other educational contexts: like for instance the residential communities for minors and addicts where members of the educational team are asked to cooperate for long periods closely with colleagues and users and where the capacity of mediation, problem solving and communication skills are elements at all discounted. The outdoor training sailing is one of those experiences "workshop" that allows you to quickly learn the value of teamwork and appreciation of the contributions of all (prerequisites to work well as a team) in favor of a unity of intent; all this in a situation highly addictive from the emotional point of view where the recreational activity mediates learning.
