In Embrace we want to offer opportunities for young people to reconnect with nature. We want to create a caring community, based in nature to increase creativity, reduce depression and anxiety, and improve the ovehealth of both people and the planet. In nature there are no expectations to fulfil, and as long as we respect the different beings living there, we will be welcomed and included. Here we can be ourselves, individually and together with other young people.
Hello dear YouthIES community!
We hope you had an incredible start to the year! We have exciting news to share about our YouthIES project.
In recent months, we have identified key environmental issues through conversations with experts.
Welcome to our dynamic project dedicated to empowering youth as change makers and activists within their communities. We provide a platform for young individuals to develop skills in environmental, climate, and social justice, all while having a blast, forging connections, enjoying games, music, and moments of relaxation.
We are inviting dedicated individuals like you to join us in our upcoming series of Environmental Education labs seeking to empower youth, NEETs ( Not in Education, Employment or Training) , young women by providing them with essential skills and knowledge in the green sector. We will be doing this through hands on interactive labs using the a Toolbox, created as part of our YouthEco project, consisting of digital interactive media, and educational fun activities on green sector topics.
The YouthIES project supports youth social entrepreneurship by integrating digital experiences, ideation, creativity, social and community responsibility, inspiring the uptake of initiatives. Its activities aim to enhance youth capacities for community-based environmental interventions using digital tools and effective systems-thinking approaches.
The project will develop knowledge for specialists working with youth on climate worry and its mental and social effects, providing the necessary tools to recognise climate-related anxiety and distress in young people and help them manage and alleviate it.
YOUTHECO is a 2-year Erasmus+ project that will support marginalized youth, such as NEETs and young women, in their re-skilling and upskilling towards the green economy.
