Escola do Mato is an organisation dedicated to teaching bushcraft and fostering a deep connection with nature.
Since 2011, we have been offering specialised courses that enable our students to develop practical skills and gain a deeper understanding of the natural environment.
Our programmes are carefully designed to provide a gradual learning experience, where nature becomes a welcoming, safe, and stimulating space. Through our activities, participants gain the confidence and independence needed to interact with the natural environment in an autonomous, mindful, and balanced way.
Our approach is inclusive and accessible, designed for everyone — regardless of physical ability or level of experience. We offer a rich, multilingual learning experience, creating a multicultural environment where everyone feels welcome.
At Escola do Mato, our goal is to provide practical and transformative experiences that go far beyond technical knowledge alone. We value sustainability, safety, and the well-being of our students, equipping them with the tools to build a genuine connection with the natural world.
