Objectives

Young people from Poland, Ukraine, Lithuania and Turkey, who were involved in the preparation of the project, expressed the need to establish contacts with peers from other countries with similar interests, learn about a different culture, and above all participate in joint activities regarding the future of our planet and societies. The main topics of the project are: acquisition of knowledge, skills and competences by young people in the field of wildlife conservation, ecotourism and its accessibility for people with disabilities, methods of natural therapy and sports activities as a promotion of a healthy lifestyle and a way to mitigate the effects of the pandemic. The project responded to the following needs of the participants: - familiarization with good practices and exchange of experiences on effective methods and tools, involving young people for ecological activities; - discussion in an international team of opportunities for the development of ecotourism based on sustainable development; - increasing digital competences necessary for active participation in social and professional life; - broadening the knowledge on accessibility and counteracting social exclusion; - improving the English language; - learning about other languages ​​and cultures, developing intercultural competences. We decided to carry out this project because it not only responds to contemporary and everyday problems challenges faced by young people, but above all supports the most important assumptions related to the development of the young generation in the context of the urgent needs that arise in the context of the development of Europe, cultivating its values, but also in other current areas, such as: digitization, inclusion, and above all threat of a climate crisis and actions aimed at maintaining the global ecological balance. Goals follow from this detailed projects, which include: - creating conditions for getting to know each other, breaking down barriers and stereotypes and cooperation of young people with common interests; - development of creativity, activity, independence, teamwork skills as features useful in building a future professional career; - developing motivation to participate in non-formal education, also in the framework of youth exchange programs; - development of ecological skills and ecological awareness; - getting acquainted with the scientific, educational, promotional and tourist activities of national parks and the possibilities of apprenticeships, internships or volunteering; - expanding practical and theoretical knowledge on ecological tourism and its organization in accordance with the principles of sustainable development; - gaining knowledge about natural therapies and experiencing them in practice as a way of maintaining hygiene and mental balance and mitigating the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic; - promoting a healthy lifestyle; - increasing knowledge about accessibility and its role in building a society without barriers; - broadening digital competences; development and promotion of international youth cooperation in the Erasmus + Program; - improvement of foreign languages; - promoting intercultural dialogue, tolerance, emphasizing the national identity with the right to diversity; - influencing the local, regional and international community by disseminating the results; - implementation of the assumptions of the equal opportunities policy through the participation of participants with fewer opportunities.
