About Outward Bound

Outward Bound Belgium is an organization specializing in personal and professional development through outdoor activities. It is part of the global network of Outward Bound International, active in more than 30 countries. Founded in 1977, the organization has since helped thousands of people grow, both individually and as part of a team.

What does Outward Bound Belgium do?

Outward Bound offers training programs tailored to the profiles and needs of participants and groups. By combining thought and action, experience and insight, Outward Bound motivates individuals and teams—both literally and figuratively—to take action. These programs provide a strong foundation for personal and organizational growth.

The Outward Bound methodology is rooted in experiential learning and process facilitation: stepping out of familiar comfort zones and into a safe environment to explore awareness, communication, collaboration, action, and reflection. Experienced trainers and coaches work with a clear focus on the present moment, providing guidance and adjustments when needed.

Outward Bound Belgium is an organization with extensive expertise and experience in facilitating development programs for (young) adults across all sectors. The organization does not offer standard training but creates customized programs every time.

Who is it for?

Outward Bound provides training and development programs for individuals, groups, and organizations from both the social and corporate sectors. Revenue from its corporate programs is fully reinvested into training programs for groups that lack the financial resources to participate. This is not a one-off social project but a deeply ingrained commitment to sustainable corporate social responsibility.
