This project aims to foster quality improvements in youth work, in particular through enhanced cooperation between organisations in the youth field and/or other stakeholders as well as enhance the international dimension of youth activities and enhance the capacity of youth workers and organisations in their support for young people.
The main aim of this project is to repurpose outdoors as a learning space by equipping youth workers with a set of competences to learn how to work with the outdoor environment as a classroom and teaching media, based on the eco centric model of learning.
Main project objectives are:

– to develop the knowledge of participants about the eco-centric model of learning as a set of methods to support development of both youth workers and young people;
– to experience outdoor methods and techniques and reflect on ways of incorporating them into daily youth work of participants, with a focus on young people with fewer opportunities, young people from marginalised background, radicalised youth or with refugees;
– to exchange practices, experiences, methods and techniques of outdoor and eco-centric education in order to increase the quality of youth work in participants’ countries;
– to develop participants’ competences in designing, planning, implementing and evaluating outdoor, experiential and eco centric learning activities;
– to develop personal (self-esteem, learning to learn) and social skills (communication, teamwork) of participants through outdoor activities and lessons;
– to promote Erasmus+ Programme and opportunities for education, training and mobility.
