Nurrait | Jeunes Karibus believes in a nature and adventure-based intervention.

An approach in harmony with Inuit culture

Nature- and adventure-based intervention is the approach adopted by Nurrait | Jeunes Karibus to design and implement all its activities

Nature and Adventure-based Intervention

" Nature- and adventure-based intervention is founded on the idea that it is possible to facilitate learning or behaviour change through adventure activities in natural settings, within the context of an experiential group learning. "

The components of nature- and adventure-based intervention align with the Nunavimmiut vision of health, which is based on 3 key concepts: Ilusirsusiarniq (physical health), Qanuinngisiarniq (well-being) and Inuuqatigiitsianiq (quality of social relationships) (Fletcher et al., 2024) (Qanuilirpiitaa 2024 Inuit Health Survey ) For Nurrait | Jeunes Karibus, emphasizing the land and Inuit culture—particularly by involving tradition bearers in project planning—is essential for fostering youth identity development and healing.

Fully consistent with Inuit culture, the nature- and adventure-based intervention approach implemented by Nurrait | Jeunes Karibus in its programs offers unique opportunities for leadership, personal growth, and intergenerational sharing for young people.
