Co-facilitate with nature – a systemic approach to ecological consciousness
NATURALEXPLORERS ASSOCIATION, Training course funded by Erasmus + Program
July 25 to August 3, 2025, Beglika
In today’s world, marked by increasing consumerism, urbanization, and fast-paced lifestyles, our connection with nature is progressively weakening. Young people rarely have the opportunity to build an authentic emotional and cognitive bond with nature. This leads to a lack of awareness of environmental challenges and a diminished sense of responsibility for the environment.
Through this project, we aim to bridge this gap by equipping youth workers with a holistic approach to environmental awareness, using nature as a teacher. By applying a systemic approach to facilitation, experiential learning, and outdoor activities, we strive to foster a deep understanding of the interconnectedness between people and nature.
The project introduces innovative methodologies for youth work, ensuring their adaptability to diverse social and cultural contexts. It also provides youth workers with the opportunity to develop experiential learning programs that strengthen environmental education and incorporate sustainable actions into everyday life.
This training course is designed for you if you’re a youth worker passionate about environmental education and ready to embark on a transformative journey of discovering your own deep connection with nature.
