Abstract

Introduction
At a time when we seem to discuss the role of Adventure education in society and in schools, this presentation offers attractive prospects offered by a still poorly understood approach: education through adventure. Adventure is here understood in terms of physical activity generating physiological and psychological changes. It is argued that it is a perspective that can help facilitate the resolution of problems related to the educational needs of teenagers, but also necessary to reconnect to nature. This medium is based primarily on Adventure that change can occur persons are exposed to physical and cognitive challenges and new opportunities for personal growth. A developmental approach to the use of nature emerges in the context of maintaining a close link with the contributions of nature and adventure and cultivating a taste for all activities reflective of the experience of human experiences and sports.

Methods
The team wanted to take time to develop tools for collecting and relevant and meaningful response. It was important for this team to be able to give a voice to students to see what they lived through this program. It is in this spirit that we have interviewed, giving them the opportunity to express themselves through interviews. Speaking participants was crossed with an account of teachers group leaders. In addition, other artifacts of reflection were used in the experiment to allow the crossing of certain data to better understand what happens in situ. The approach to mold reality of respondents. Indeed, the relevance of this approach is based on an essential and intrinsic to nature quality, namely to consider the interactions that students establish them with educational stakeholders and therapists and their environment.

Results
Thus, changes in operative referred settle in a reconfiguration of their own environment. In the project each teenager with special needs, was to invest in an educational/therapeutic reality. Impacts are already visible in the school : the retention was increased, behaviors and perceptions have also changed.

Discussion
This approach increasingly interested school communities who see it as an extraordinary means for sustainable change. It seems very interesting to use this model of education through adventure to offer an educational and therapeutic environment, which by its nature, facilitates lasting change. In regard to benefits offered by this approach, it is important to provide young people with special educational problems demonstrators the opportunity to perform in an appropriate context and develop their full potential using an approach that facilitates the development.
