Survival

Each program is tailor-made. We start with the task formulated by the company or the institution which its staff wants to be trained. This task can be: teambuilding, selection, reintegration, outplacement etc. Another important input for the contents of the program is formed by the individual training needs which are indicated by you, or which are determined by us on the basis of the psychological assessments. From the assessments we took a number of matters will come forward. At both individually and group level those findings will be important for working at the set targets.

From our experience a number of elements has turned out of the most importance to reach certain targets within a limited time. The factors of 'umwelt' or environment and the activities play in this a very large role. Nevertheless they form primarily the context within which we want to start confirming our findings at a psychological level and developments.

For both the wilderness training and the psychological training SwedenTrainings makes use of experts and qualified coaches. For the wilderness they are partly local Swedes; for EQ-training do we have most Dutch coaches and psychologists.

Back to Basic's

The survival training is in time and investment the largest part of the complete EQ-training. Dependent on the possibilities of the group it is assumed a midweek on location.

Except for the summer holiday period; the week of the large elk-hunting in October and the last part of December the training can take place the whole year. The activities have been geared to the possibilities which nature offers us. As from spring up to in the autumn the survival-part exist especially from staying in nature; gathering food and a night stay. In the winter a safe place is a fundamental need; ice fishing and collecting basic material is of the utmost importance. Dried reindeer meat is one of the necessary supplements in this time of the year. The heaviness of the program is determined in all cases in consultation with the constituent. So is there e.g. a choice possible between staying in a snow hut in the forests build by the participants themselves or at night in the safe protection of our 'torp' with the warmth of a wood fire, the oil lamps and 'dass', or outside toilet.

Of course you are welcomed in all cases, after your travel, in the luxuriously surroundings of for example the Uddeholms Hotell, located at the lake side with an excellent menu; a splendid chamber with all supplies; conference spaces; the possibility for use of the 'bastu' (sauna) in your own building, or at the bank of the lake. After three days and two nights stay in the bush you will warmly be received there with again the same luxuriously facilities.
