A day outdoors, learning something with your hands

Diginono runs outdoor workshops for teams of up to ten people. Phones go in a box at the start of the day, and the group spends it outside learning a practical skill: making fire, finding your way with a map and compass, building a shelter. Most organisations book a few days spread over the year so the team gets outside regularly.

Reading footprints and other signs of the animals living nearby.

Water filtering

Finding water and making it safe to drink.

Putting up a shelter with a tarp and whatever is lying around.

Food gathering

Recognising edible plants and what to leave alone.

Navigation

Map and compass, and working out where you are without a phone.

Why we think it helps

There is a growing body of research on both sides of this: time in nature tends to lower stress, and time away from screens tends to improve attention and mood. A few recent studies we found useful:
