Hiking as an Educational Activity for Young People: Experiences in Cienfuegos
Main Article Content
Abstract
Hiking has gained popularity as a recreational activity, but its educational potential for young people remains largely unexplored. The objective of this study was to develop a methodological framework for promoting hiking as an educational activity, based on the systematization of the educational experiences from the “La Viña” project with young people in Cienfuegos. A qualitative methodology with a critical-social approach was employed, based on the systematization of experiences and documentary analysis. The results show that hiking, when planned with pedagogical intent, promotes the development of decision-making skills, teamwork, leadership, and environmental awareness. The study concludes with a methodological proposal structured in three phases (preparation, implementation, and evaluation) that can be replicated in both formal and non-formal educational contexts.
