Tiivistelmä
The primary objective of this thesis is to provide information on all basic orienteering skills for school lessons and orienteering clubs. It also gives an overview about what has to be considered when working with students in international environments, as we wrote the product part both in English and in Finnish language.
The thesis is product oriented and split into the theoretical part and the product itself, that for us is a website. Theoretical part is split into five sections: introduction, technical skills, physical skills, cognitive skills, and training sessions.
The website (www.schoolorienteering.com) contains three sections about mapping, equipment, and activities. The third section is divided in four parts with all the exercises and their examples. In the website there is also a suggestion for typical progressions for the students development, provided to help teachers and instructors.
It is important to consider that there is a lot of material online or in books but the orienteering community doesn't have yet a database with all the activities, that is why we decided to create it.
The thesis has been made in cooperation with the Finnish club Lahden Suunnistajat -37 and Länsiharju Primary School in Lahti, and many examples come from past work with Italian, Finnish and Australian orienteering clubs and primary schools.
