History
Outward Bound was founded in 1941, during the World War II by Kurt Hahn, a progressive educator who believed that education must encourage character development.His first program responded to the needs of young sailors who couldn´t survive at sea.
Kurt Hahn saw the need of giving them enough leadership skills to face new and hard challenges. “Outward Bound” is the nautical term describing a ship leaving the safety of its harbor to head for the open seas. |
