Orienteering: motivation, multidisciplinary and skills. A project in a secondary school in the province of Salerno.

The main objectives of Orienteering methodology are: developing interdisciplinary knowledge and skills, diversifying methods and forms of teaching, using the territory as a classroom and school gym, stimulating a new relationship among man - nature- territory. From the perspective of teaching skills, Orienteering gives students the chance to develop dynamic knowledge and abilities to solve problem situations. Orienteering combined with practice is definitely a fun and sporty structure, which allows an interdisciplinary approach involving the subject through a training course and a new relationship among man-nature-territory. The interdisciplinary nature of Orienteering, leads to: the versatility and interdisciplinary didactics (art, physical education, environmental education, education for health, road safety education, geography, study of the territory represented: as local history); the game as training moment involving the student in his entirety (thought, corporeality, feeling, emotions); the relationships, easily activated during the game (students, teachers); consistent territorial geopolitical choices as this activity promotes the knowledge of natural environments and their problems. This paper discusses about the Orienteering project carried out in the classes of the first two years of the High School “A. Gatto” in the province of Salerno.
