The main Idea of the project is to raise awareness of healthy lifestyles, the importance and benefits of the nature that surrounds us.

The project aims to achieve the following objectives:

  • To enable the gathering of young people from 5 European countries to jointly implement a program of non-formal learning on a topic that is socially relevant and of interest to them and develop skills and attitudes, including fostering intercultural dialogue.
  • To bring nature closer to young people through their stay at an outdoor camp and to show them its beautiful side, sensitising them, showing what nature generously offers us.
  • To provide young people with a rich program of outdoor activities and empower them through non-formal learning in nature, throughout nature and immersion in nature. 
  • To help young people develop healthier lifestyles and understand the interconnectedness and think about systems of responsible lifestyles and consumer habits – eating locally sourced food, natural products for beauty and body care, activities in nature. 
  • To empower young people to enjoy nature using its benefits and give them the idea to develop similar activities for their well-being and the well-being of the community they come from.
  • To show young people how to live in a sustainable community and thus understand environmental-friendly solutions in practice and their integration into everyday life.
