- Identification of different plant species and animal tracks.
- Construction of canteens; a feeder so that the participants can take it and hang it in an area near their home, so that they can continue with the hobby of observing nature.
- "Field notebook" workshop: to introduce the naturalist world, a field notebook will be created to record and draw the day's observations.

- Assemblies: they are a very important space for each young person to express their feelings and concerns without being judged, and it allows the team of educators to identify conflicts and resolve them.
- Discovery of the environment: a short weekend trip will be made to discover the surroundings and the villages of the Valley.
