I want to take my time now and present the organization where I work here in Zagreb. Already in two weeks, they have made a huge impression to me with their methods and activities. I want to tell you first about Outward Bound International and then more about Croatian one.
International side of the story
To serve, to strive and not to yield”
Outward Bound was founded in 1941 and since then organization’s schools have been working with people all around the world. OB’s main aim is to help people realize their potential through learning in the wild, in a supportive environment where they can learn about themselves and see clearly what they are truly capable to achieve in life. Outward Bound values are personal responsibility, mutual trust and tolerance, cooperation, sincerity and compassion. With the experience over 60 years now, you can say that they are experts in their area of activities.
Being the leading adventure-based education program in the world, Outward Bound has developed their high standard procedures and programs to use in their activities. To have a high quality in their programs, the strict policy with safety issues is a key word to do that.

Outward Bound Croatia
Croatian branch is directed with the power of women. It is part of Outward Bound International and was founded in 2005 by a group of people who wanted to introduce Outward Bound educational system to Croatian people. In the past years, they have grown their activities more every year and for this year, more than 400 people have participated in their projects. Respect! :)
OB Croatia’s mission is to encourage people to discover and develop their potential and to create a better world for themselves and others through challenging experiences in unfamiliar settings.
When you participate in activities of OB Croatia, it’s all about adventure, dealing with the unknown, stretching your own limits, responsibility compassion and ability to work with others… And much more!
All of this is happening different venues in Croatia, forest, mountains, lakes and of course the sea with activities like climbing, kayaking, diving etc..
More information about the NGO and for upcoming projects (where I can take part also jeij!), you can find here: http://www.outwardbound.hr/en
"Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away. "

I’m happy to be part of all this for the next six months. I will tell more about the activities later, with lot of pictures of course! :)
