Tenerife Back to Nature & Mental Welfare

Course Overview

The aim of this course is to enhance connectivity with nature through engagement with hiking in Tenerife's natural environments. In doing so, it will also optimise opportunities for course participants to (i) enhance mental health and wellbeing; (ii) support mindfulness; and (iii) help build resilience, self-esteem and confidence.

The course will explore ways that hiking can exist in harmony with nature and support a greener future and economy for Tenerife, using hiking as a tool to promote environmental awareness and address broader environmental challenges, whilst also supporting and advocating nature-based work in local communities throughout Tenerife.
