In April, the "Wilderness, Wellness" Youth Exchange was implemented in Veliki Zitnik, Croatia, with the aim of inculcating young people to discover the therapeutic dimension of outdoor education and to practice how to share their feelings.

The targets of the exchange are people:

o learn various outdoor techniques to reconnect with nature.

o to learn the methodology in outdoor education.

o express thoughts and feelings through outdoor running activities.

o discover ways to maintain mental well-being through contact with nature.

Read below how the people, who participated from Greece, describe their experience:

"The most special moments for me were when we got together as a group, sitting around the fire, sharing stories and songs and playing the games we organized together. For me, these are memories I will never forget and friendships that I hope will last for a long time. ." -Mary

"The reason I applied was to meet different people from different countries, develop social skills, get in touch with nature, detox from social networks and get out of my comfort zone, trying something different which I'm used to, in a foreign environment, interacting with new people. This project helped me achieve these goals, and more." -Nikki

The program is co-financed by the European Union.
