OWNs Nurture Nature : Nature is known to be the best teacher and it is our duty to
nurture nature by inculcating habits and knowledge to this effect in our participants. We
seek to work withF
orest andA
gricultural departments to find ways in which we canhelp increase our forest cover. We propose to increase voluntary work in contributing to
mainstream forestry in any way possible.
Social Agenda : Leaders can be groomed amidst under privileged children and people
with special needs. We have programs that specifically cater to such segments of our
population. Orphanages, government run schools and schools for people with special
needs will participate in these programs on regular basis. This will help several
communities gather resources and face challenges on their own.

Traits & skills :Sharing, tolerance, bonding, courage, perseverance, humility and such
other qualities are building blocks of every society. Competence, analytical skills,problem solving and decision making are day to day skills that participants will identify
and experience. Nurturing these qualities and skills in every participant will be one of
our core values.
Role Model and Human Resource Management
Need for Role Model
Children need role models to learn and adapt. Experiences at a young age form the back
bone of our decision making process. We learn to communicate, share and handle stress
by seeing elders in the family, school are neighbourhood heroes. Our traditional joint
family system provided such role models for children to see, learn and emulate. The
patriarch or matriarch of the family took most of the decisions, handled pressures and
stresses while running the affairs of the home. The break down of joint family system
and rise of small families has created a major vacuum for role modeling.
Why Survival skill is important?
The ability to handle difficult situations in any sphere of human activity will eventually
decide the physical and mental balance of a human being and therefore survival of thehuman race. For thousands of years, human beings have adapted and learnt to survive
through the hard way, whereas, we parents, nowadays, take great pride in giving a verycomfortable and luxurious life to our children. Such children will get no experience in
the harsh ways of life and may therefore find it difficult to adjust to a tough situation as
an adult let it be loss of job or handling a difficult partner. This is truly reflected in the
rising incidents of depression, low morale, major health issues like BP and diabetes at a
young age.
Why Leadership is important?
Leadership exists at all levels of the society either be it children in a small group,
family as a whole or at the state level. This is one quality that has dictated the history of
mankind and it will direct the future course of our world. While there are several traits
and qualities of a Leader, the 3Ps of Leadership require careful attention:
Power
People Skills
Problem Solving
While there are so many ways one can learn about Leadership, we at OWN have
recognized that an experiential learning program combined with outdoor experience and
adventure activity can truly challenge the mind, bring about the emotional changes
necessary for the participant to experience the 3Ps.
The participant will experience some of these Leadership Traits:

Risk Assessment and Safety policy
OWN is committed to promoting a positive learning environment that supportsphysical and emotional well-being of all participants. We take great pride in our
safety management and risk assessment of all our outdoor programs.
It is very important you understand that there are risks. OWN will do everythingwithin reasonable means, to keep you safe. The risk of injury, even is
unavoidable in the outdoor environment. Indeed, much of the value of a OWNcourse lies in learning how to identify hazards and adapt behavior, not only on
the course, but also for a lifetime of enjoying the outdoors.
Good physical conditioning and a positive mental attitude are essential. Each
participant plays an important role in the success of a OWN program. Due to
wide variety of programs and locations, it should be generally assumed thatparticipants will sleep outdoors, generally in groups.
Careful and meticulous planning goes into each program, the route chosen and
the equipment used. Team leaders are qualified persons from recognized
institutes or have great depth and sufficient experience in the area of work.
Participants are briefed upon arrival, about the program schedule, terrain
involved and how to take care of themselves. They are given a set of dos and
donts so that they are well informed

Programs For Students Programs For Schools
Students of today are leaders of tomorrow.The future leaders are expected to carry a
large burden of solving myriad issues some of
which cannot be foreseen today. ProblemSolving requires not only intellectual skills but
toughness, perseverance, team building,communication skills and many more. Lack of
such skills will lead to slow breakdown ofhuman mind and body. This is evident from
the sudden rise in health issues amongst young
people. Rise in Diabetes, BP and heart
diseases amongst young people has become
very common. India will soon become theDiabetes capital of the world.
Regular exposure to tough situations in an exciting environment can improve resilience
and many of these skills. Further, the continuous physical activity in pristine
environment will improve metabolism and health. OWN Adventure programs for
students have been designed with several objectives that will build the leadership skills,

Programs For Students Programs For Schools
OWN Outdoor Leadership Program (OLP) for schools
Outward Bound Learning (OBL) has existed in Indian history for 100s of years. The
system was better known as "Gurukul" system wherein students across social stratawhere brought together under a "Guru" and learnt variety of skills far away from
their comfort zones. Such a system helped young people drop their inhibitions and
learn from the openness. Tough situations help one develop strength and courage to
deal with elements and day to day issues. Leadership potential and survival skills
are groomed only through such tough exercises.
The modern rush for academic qualifications has pushed the "outdoors" out of focus.
This is reflected in our place in international sporting events. Lack of strength is also
reflected by the rise in stress related diseases amongst young people. Of late, however,
several schools have understood the need for a holistic learning platform that includes
grooming of character and strength and have successfully integrated outdoor programsinto their curriculum.
OWN has identified certain activities that can trigger leadership and survival skillsamongst students. For instance, Courage is one important quality of a leader. It is
defined as the ability to do extraordinary things. One form of courage is to say "hello" toa new student walking into the school. Such a move will make the new comer
comfortable and immediately at ease. The absence of such a move could make the newcomer feel rejected. Another form of Courage is to say "No" to alcohol or smoke when a
friend influences you to "try" it for the first time.
OLP Modules
OWN OLP programs have been carefully graded based on the objectives, age groups and
requirements of the school. While most of these programs are offered in OWN campuses
across India, some programs can be customized within the school campus on a case by
case basis. Some of the programs offered to schools are as below:

introduction to adventure, punctuality, team spirit, understanding risk, ability to take careof oneself. The beginner is stepping into the outdoors, perhaps, for the first time. So she
is both curious and uncertain, and therefore requires careful attention, support and
encouragement. The first experience can have a huge impact on the growing mind andnaturally will trigger the hidden leadership potential. Activities include High Ropes,
basic rock climbing, trek, team activities, management games, current issues and
debates, learning from nature and environment, natural science, enhancing IQ level and
the like. Number of days can be customized between 2 ~ 4 days.
