The “open nature” project is an international youth exchange, which focused on two main topics: outdoor education and ecology. More precisely, how to use methods of non-formal outdoor education to promote informed consumption and preserve the environment. The main goal of our project was to exchange the knowledge of participants from partner countries about the methods and tools of non-formal outdoor education of children and youth in the context of ecology. Learn how to work with existing experiences to achieve better educational outcomes and how to work with this methodology to increase the environmental awareness of younger generations. The program of the project also had the following tasks: • Understand the basic principles of outdoor education and non-formal learning methods • Based on the experience gained, increase the motivation and involvement of the participants in the development of ecological culture; • Develop outdoor games and tools on the topic of ecology; • Promote healthy lifestyle and sports; • Increase the competencies of participating organizations in using outdoor education methods for applying them in youth work; • Increase the competence of the participating organizations in the ability to cooperate for the implementation of future projects; • Increase the intercultural competence of the participants and strengthen the relationship between the partner organizations and the youngsters participating in the exchange. The youth exchange program was designed in a way that contributed to the maximum achievement of the goals originally set in the project.
