Green Emotions

Our idea is to create a KA1 mobility for youth workers project during the third week of september, targeting organizations working with young people related with the nature and how we feel the emotions in the nature in order for them to reflect on the role of nature as an emotional educational element and to improve our skills as youth workers in this field.
Nowadays youth is very disconnected from nature, and from the natural processes of the environment. They are focusing a lot on social networks and screens. This is pushing the young people to develop some emotional disorders and there are many researches that point to the connection with the natural environment with emotional wellness. The natural processes that constantly happen in the environment around us are a very powerful font of learning in many ways and connect with our emotional part. With this project we want to give it the importance it deserves in our work with youth.
On the other hand, it is very important that youth do not disconnect from the power of nature because it is the context where they live, and where they will live. So it is essential to focus on the sustainability of the planet as a whole, we are interconnected and we should take care of ourselves from the collective approach. The intercultural vision of a project like this is necessary to open the minds beyond our walls, and beyond tomorrow, to the future.
