The initiative of the project “From Gloom To Bloom'' originated from young people who wanted to educate their peers about the value of natural resources and its impact on a healthy lifestyle. The project addressed various youth interventions on sustainable natural resource management systems both in small communities and globally, in order to raise awareness about the environmental challenges facing our planet. Using non-formal education in a multicultural context, young people were exploring a diverse range of natural resources by experiencing outdoor recreational activities, thus creating a platform to come together to exchange knowledge and experience. The objectives of youth exchange “From Gloom to Bloom”: - Facilitate the youth exchange of exploration, experience and expression on unconventional ideas to increase awareness of global challenges within a group of 40 young people - Prepare the group to experience practical 6 concrete activities (Creation of promotional videos; Hiking; Treasure hunt; Study visit, Business Incubator and workshop of effective use of natural resources) - Development of 3 tools for promoting the current situation of natural resources on social media: 1 Youtube channel, 6 promotional videos; 1 Facebook Page - Expand the wast international cooperation network for 6 organizations on a duration of 2 years, which will attract at least 5 entities (NGO's, schools, municipalities) during the project timeline In line with the Erasmus+ (KA1 youth) objectives, “From Gloom To Bloom”: - Innovate new creative practices and process by using non-formal and experiential learning methods - Develop social solidarity and dialogue, multiculturality and tolerance - Involve young people with fewer opportunities - Enhance the desire to be an active citizen and take initiatives to find solutions to current issues both in communities and globally
