Selection process

The Nepali youth are carefully selected by our team of coaches. Participants must be at least 16 years old when they enter the programme. The main selection criterion is motivation. We consider this as the main indicator of success. When they are motivated and choose 100% consciously for our programme, then the impact of the QuestTrek is at its greatest.

Prior to the start of QuestTrek, our youth coaches organize two introduction sessions. The first session takes place two months before the scheduled date of departure. The second session, combined with international participants, takes place three to five days before the scheduled date of departure.
The main goals of these sessions are:
·      ensuring mentally and physically stability for the rigors of the programme
·      understanding the programme’s core concepts.

After these sessions the participants are brought to the mountains for the six days intensive transformational inner journey: QuestTrek

When the participants completed QuestTrek, they are invited for a follow up programme called QuestTribes. This programme includes six training days spread across the remainder of the year. Ideally, these trainings are organized every six weeks. The purpose is to continue the process initiated during the QuestTrek. Individual coaching sessions along with group sessions help with further developing life skills and tackling whatever challenges or obstacles the participants are currently facing.

QuestTrek has more impact in combination with QuestTribe. During QuestTrek, participants undergo a mental healing process, where a door to new opportunities and insights is opened. QuestTribe helps them to keep this door open and become actors of change in their own lives, of others and their nation.
