Youth and Orienteering: Successful Presentation and Knowledge Quiz in Hadžići

Organized by the Association for Cooperation and Environmental Improvement, an educational event titled “Youth and Orienteering: Knowledge Quiz and Project Presentation” was held on March 15, 2026, in Hadžići (Tarčin). This one-day event gathered 40 participants, primarily high school students from rural areas, with the aim of promoting outdoor sports and a healthy lifestyle.

Introduction to Navigation Skills

The main focus of the activity was on presenting the ORIUNITE project and the basic principles of orienteering. Through an interactive presentation, participants learned:

  • The basic rules of orienteering and ways to navigate in nature using a map and a compass.

  • How this sport develops teamwork, logical thinking, and orientation skills.

  • The importance of spending active time in nature and involving youth in outdoor activities.

Interactive Learning Through a Quiz

Following the theoretical part, a knowledge quiz was organized in a relaxed and competitive atmosphere. The quiz allowed participants to test what they learned, exchange ideas, and connect with one another, creating a supportive environment for the continuation of project activities.

Although one of the main challenges was the participants’ lack of prior knowledge about orienteering, clear explanations and an interactive approach helped them grasp these concepts quickly.
