Outdoors for Inclusion: Building Solidarity through Youth Camps

Outdoors for Inclusion: Building Solidarity through Youth Camps is an Erasmus+ KA152 Youth Exchange project planned to be submitted under the February 2026 application round. We are looking for partner organisations willing to cooperate in the preparation and implementation of this international youth exchange.

The project aims to bring together young people from at least five different countries to strengthen social inclusion, solidarity and living together through outdoor education and non-formal learning methods. The learning process will be based on experiential activities, group work, outdoor practices and structured reflection sessions.

The international mobility is planned to take place in September 2026 in Marmaris, Muğla (Türkiye), in a safe, accessible and inclusive environment including forest, coastal and open-air settings. The project will be implemented as an outdoor youth camp, where shared daily life and collective responsibilities will be used as learning tools to foster equal participation, teamwork and empathy among participants.

The target group consists of young people aged 18–30, including camp leaders, camp leader candidates and active young people interested in volunteering and youth work. Priority will be given to young people with limited Erasmus+ experience and from diverse socio-economic and cultural backgrounds. Each partner country is expected to participate with 5 young participants and 1 group leader.

Partner organisations are expected to contribute to participant selection and preparation, active participation in project activities, communication and coordination throughout the project cycle, as well as dissemination of project results at local level. The project aims to create a strong basis for long-term cooperation and future Erasmus+ partnerships among participating organisations.
