YGBN Toolkit: Youth at Risk Going back to Nature

About the Project ‘’Youth Going Back to Nature – Engage, Connect, Empower’’

The project ‘’Youth Going Back to Nature – Engage, Connect, Empower’’/YGBN/ is dedicated to young people with fewer opportunities and environmentally sustainable outdoor activities. The aim of the project is to promote and contribute to reaching the EU Youth Goals set by young people in Europe.

Concrete actions will be taken in order to Engage, Connect and Empower the youth community to reach those goals and return to nature. The first toolkit “Young Women Going Back to Nature” is already available on the project website www.outdoorportal.eu.

In April 2024, The partners in the YGBN project designed a set of environmentally sustainable outdoor activities for youth at risk, during a Learning Exchange Event organized in Italy.
Professionals from the six partnering organizations – Paint and Quarter Horse Foundation (Bulgaria), OAZA (Croatia), Trekkify (Italy), the Lithuanian Sea Museum (Lithuania), QUEST(Belgium) and Equilibre (Estonia), generated innovative approaches to facilitate nature-based activities for youth at risk. The results of the event are gathered in the present toolkit.
