Dear Partners,

The Ankara Provincial Directorate of Family and Social Services (Türkiye) is preparing an Erasmus+ 153 project proposal.

Our project aims to enhance the professional capacities of social workers, psychologists, and child-care staff working in state care institutions by introducing them to Forest School methodologies, outdoor experiential learning, and nature-based therapeutic approaches.

As the Lead Coordinator, we are seeking experienced host organizations, training centers, or NGOs in Erasmus+ Program Countries specialized in Forest School education, eco-pedagogy, or outdoor socio-emotional support programs for children.

Partner Role & Requirements:

Host a Job Shadowing or Staff Training mobility for child welfare professionals.

Provide practical insights into implementing Forest School practices within institutional care or youth support contexts.

Maintain a reliable, structured, and committed working dynamic throughout the mobility planning.

If your organization has expertise in Forest School concepts and can host staff training/job shadowing, please send your PIF and a brief summary of your capacity.
