“Plant the Future” was a youth exchange mobility for young people to address a range of pressing and important issues of the modern day, namely the need to reduce CO2 emissions, topsoil erosion, climate change and reconnection with nature and mental wellbeing. This was explored in the theme of urban agriculture in particular in connection to community gardens, wherein we provided participants with skills needed to start their own agricultural projects. This strategy was based on the many studies that have shown the negative effects of climate change on the health of societies and individuals, physical and mental health are strained by both the psychological weight of climate change and the ecological damage. The project was for 12 months, and it focused on the development of knowledge and skills around sustainability, food, nutrition, and mental health for young people. It united 28 participants from Greece, Romania, Portugal, and Austria, through a youth exchange from 15 to 22 of May in Vienna and multiple follow-up activities following the mobility activity. The mobility covered three main topics: THEORETICAL KNOWLEDGE of sustainable food systems, PRACTICAL SKILLS of urban agriculture; and EMOTIONAL-COGNITIVE of mental health practices. The project set the following objectives divided into two categories: I. Development of practical and conceptual knowledge of carbon emissions, mono-agriculture, urban agriculture and plant propagation: I.1. Development of practical ability to tend to and care for edible plants and development of knowledge of health benefits (physically, emotionally, and mentally), experiential understanding of increased health in these areas; I.2. Inspiration and knowledge from study visits to various sites (such as community gardens and rooftop bee houses); I.3. Deep understanding of the environmental impact of consumer choices; I.4. Empowerment to take personal action and inspire the local community and practical skills to implement projects in home country; and I.5. Share ideas, and thoughts and learn with others; II. Emotional and physical reconnection with nature, green spaces and community building: II.1. Deeper emotional connection with and understanding of nature; II.2. Ability to experientially understand the benefits of reconnecting with nature; II.3. Reconnection to communities and assisting in the building of local communities; II.4 share doubts, concerns, and hopes about environmental issues and mental health issues; and II.5. Improve confidence and reduce climate anxiety. The methodology of the project was based on the best principles of Non-formal Education, balanced between theoretical inputs and practical exercises. Active involvement of participants in the program was ensured by the project team (Coordinator, Facilitator, and Group leaders) and a set-up of the program itself.
