With the nature program MDT Buitenkans, you’ll discover what nature can mean to you; and what you can do for nature!
In short

How it works
You’ll start the program with an intake meeting with your coach. Together, you’ll explore the question “What can nature mean to me?” and set a personal goal. You’ll dive deeper into this during the three-day nature retreat and put it into practice at a hands-on green placement. These placements are part of major national nature initiatives like NL2120 and Werklandschappen van de toekomst, focusing on nature as a solution. Throughout the program, you’ll stay in touch with your coach. At the end, you’ll celebrate the completion of the program together with other participants. If you’d like to invest more time in MDT Buitenkans, you can join the extended ‘plus track’ in consultation with your coach.
