Back to Nature, Back to Yourself

With this KA1 project (youth exchange with elements of a training course) we will honor Mother Earth and thank her for our existence. In overabundance of today's consumer world we will try to discern what one really needs for a good quality life and get rid of the clutter that all too often just hinders our inner happiness. We will try to find a deeper connection with the nature and to feel our roots. Because it is only in connection to the nature and to ourselves that one can really listen to his heart and find his own path, his joy and satisfaction, his true mission in life.

Example workshops:
- Wild edible plants
- Herbs and spices (recognition, harvesting, ways of use)
- Surviving in nature (building a bivouac out in the forest)
- Summer solstice celebration (bonfire and shamanic ritual)
- First aid course
- Astronomy
- Etc.

The project promotes environmentally friendly solutions, responsible use of resources and sustainable growth. It will include a variety of team building activities and trust building games. Working methods will be primarily based on active participation as well as experiential and informal learning. Theoretical aspects will be integrated in an interactive way.

Activities will take place on a small organic farm, set in a beautiful countryside of Slovenia.

Our aim is not to offer a consumer-ready product, but to create a high quality project together with our partners. Therefore we invite you to actively contribute to the content of this youth exchange, by sharing your experience/knowledge in this field and by preparing and implementing some interesting topic related workshops/activities. When choosing project partners, priority will be given to applicants who are ready to offer such contribution and to organizations dealing with youth with fewer opportunities.
