Mental health through nature and community

During the project, a youth exchange will be organised in a small village of Liptod in Hungary. The project theme will focus on the youth’s mental health and how it’s influenced by contact with nature and the community in which one functions. The exchange will include youth aged 15–17 from six different countries. The activities will be based on non-formal education methods. A large part of them will take place outdoors.

Activities to be undertaken in the project:

• a preparatory visit in Budapest during which team leaders will meet each other, finalise the exchange plan, and prepare for the exchange itself,
• the youth exchange, during which the participants will explore the topic of mental health.

What we do during the project:

• we meet participants from other countries and their cultures,
• we take part in team-building sessions and intercultural evenings,
• we learn more about the importance of mental health and different factors affecting it, 
• we take part in different workshops and simulations.
