Presentation

In Nature project is developed within the frame of Leonardo da Vince Programme. It aims to create a new professional profile as “Nature and Rural Realm Interpreter”. This definition contributes to arise a new activity to promote development and employment in rural areas.
The representatives of the different partners compose the Transnational Association. The starting point is the same worries, but from different points of view. This fact was concluded by IRMA SL (project’s promoter) by the elaboration of the proposal, which, finally, turned into the pilot project.

IN NATURE started with the first Transnational meeting, which took place in León during November 2004. Different activities will be developed to disseminate the project, as well as the sessions and meetings taking place in the partners’ countries.
The project aims to target different groups of people involved in Natural and Cultural Heritage Interpretation. Many times the word Interpreter appears associated to the guide but its role and activities go beyond that. Among the projects final objectives, a handbook for trainers in this field will be elaborated. Through the collaboration among the partners and the cooperation with several technicians and experts, the different training modules will be elaborated, ending in the structure for the final handbook. Once the training modules are finished, this itinerary will be tested with a group of students in the different countries.
