"CREATIVITY IS A COMBINATION OF DISCIPLINE AND A CHILD LIKE SPIRIT."
ROBERT GREENE
Who We Are
An experiential education organization focused on outdoors and development within a group context. We want to drive social progress in the world through new and innovative projects, thus empowering youth adaptability to the ever changing circumstances.
TreeHouse is a result of cooperation among Danish, Czech, Romanian, Bulgarian and Latvian organizations meaning that it is only for the citizens of those countries.
What is This
A youth exchange in a nowhere in Latvia. A safe space for endless creation. A week of continuous development. A project where outdoors and media come together. Creativity is a habit, and the best creativity is the result of good work habits. Be prepared that it will be very intense.
The Building
The building of the TreeHouse is used as a learning method within a group context. Half of the day we will be spending 10 metres above the ground working on the TreeHouse platform.
The Film
The group takes initiative to create a film about the project they have created to serve as a reminder of their growth. The other half-day will be spent documenting the building process and the emotions.
The Festival
We celebrate our success through a public TreeHouse festival up in the trees. Music, dancing, performances and workshops - all of your creativity is welcome!
