Open expedition weekend Sep 26-28, 2025
We offer an expedition weekend every year that is open to all participants in Germany. This is intended to relieve the burden on Award Operators who have participants who were unable to take part in their final expeditions. Prerequisite is prior participation in a practice expedition (exceptions can be made).
In 2025, this open expedition weekend will take place from September 26-28. It is open for Bronze (practice or final) and Silver (practice if Bronze was achieved). Participation is free of charge for participants. Registration needs to be submitted by July 1, 2025.
To join the list of interested participants, please register using the form at the bottom of this page and the following code: OE_26.9.25
Management course
The management course focuses on the systematic further development of the programme work and your educational institution. The most important result is the preparation of an updated development plan. The main target group is the members of the management team. Using the EFQM model as a compass, the development of the programme is practised on real problems and situations.
The management course is aimed at teams that already have many years of experience with the Award and would like to gain insights into how they can improve certain areas of their work. Dates by arrangement.
Expedition support
Experience has shown that the knowledge we impart in our training courses and manuals is sufficient to successfully prepare, accompany and evaluate expeditions.
Interested parties who would like to improve their practical expedition skills or receive support in the implementation of their expeditions can contact the following organisations, licensed by us. Please note that these organisations act on their own behalf:
