Back to Nature!

The rising incidence of mental and other health problems among young people, paralleling their increasing screen time and internet use, is a growing concern. Our project seeks to counter this trend by offering appealing outdoor activities in diverse climates, making them both fun and active.

This project brings together countries from Northern Europe, Central Europe, and Southern Europe to share experiences on enhancing the mental and emotional health of young people through outdoor activities and nature-based practices.

The main aim of the "Back to Nature" project is to enhance the mental and emotional health of young people by increasing their engagement in outdoor activities and nature-based practices, thereby reducing screen time and promoting a sustainable and active lifestyle.

Project's objectives:
1. Encourage more young people to be active and spend more time outdoors, thereby reducing their screen time.
2. Teach participants to adopt a responsible and sustainable approach to the environment, including addressing the climate crisis.
3. Improve the physical and emotional health of young people through a more active lifestyle.
4. Instruct participants in creatively using nature and physical activity as tools to enhance emotional health.
5.Develop young people's self-discipline in managing screen-based activities, using advanced tools and technologies.

We aim to provide a unique, multifaceted experience that encourages young people to be more active and immersed in nature.

Project is planned to take place from October, 2024 till September, 2026.
