By organizing NARUBY exchange, the participants were seeking for a space where they can explore, experiment and experience themselves in a new environment and exchange various nature-based forms with their peers from different countries. Through the involvement in all the phases of NARUBY project (preparation, youth exchange, follow-up) they aimed to learn new ways of how to socially engage their peers and themselves, be empowered and confident to bring sustainable and meaningful change to our communities, take ownership of their life, develop intercultural understanding and bring new non-formal and nature-based work forms to their organizations. The objectives of the projects were created in accordance with the needs of the 40 participants and the desired impact they wanted to create out of this project.
