Programming
The conference program is planned for five days, and the tentative schedule is as follows
5 Days Programs
The 10th International Adventure Therapy Conference will be held in 2025, coinciding with the 400-year mark of drastic changes in Taiwan’s natural environment. However, the power of nature has already reawakened, and due to global warming and the rampage of COVID-19, it is constantly reminding the world of the importance of rebuilding the relationship between humans and nature. Against this unique backdrop, we propose “The Healing Power of Nature” as the theme for this conference
Workshop
We will invite local practitioners in Taiwan to hold several workshops with unique features.
Webinar
The opening ceremony, conference keynote, paper presentations, and closing ceremony in the program will be conducted online simultaneously. People who cannot attend the physical conference in Taiwan can also choose to participate in the online conference. Pre- and post-conference workshops will also propose an online framework for global scholars and practitioners to share freely.
The Healing Power of Nature
Research
Based on our theme “The Healing Power of Nature” and the focus on adventure therapy, we propose the following directions to invite scholars and practitioners from around the world to submit their papers and share their research and practical experience:
Explore the healing effects of nature and the impact of adventure therapy on mental and physical health in natural environments.
Discuss the role and value of green care in sustainable development, and explore how concepts of sustainable development can be applied to practical work in fields like adventure therapy.
Explore issues of social justice in the distribution of natural resources and how practical work like adventure therapy can help to address these
problems and promote social justice.
Discuss the effects of climate change, COVID-19, and other environmental crises on people and nature, and explore how practical work like adventure therapy can help address these challenges.
Discuss the theoretical foundations and practical applications of adventure therapy, share experiences, and exchange academic knowledge among adventure therapy practitioners.
