"Eurobridge asbl", in collaboration with partners from Poland, Estonia, North Macedonia, and Turkey, found the suggestion from young people within our organizations to create a youth exchange devoted to the issue of surviving in wild nature very intriguing. Furthermore, we drew our participants' attention to the current state of the environment. The exchange "Participating in Nature" brought together 35 young individuals from the partner countries in Sanem, Luxembourg. The aim of this project was to gain the necessary knowledge and skills on the basics of surviving in nature. It was essential that everyone knew how to fully utilize what nature provides, how to draw attention for rescuers to find them, how to navigate unfamiliar territory towards civilization (in case there was no hope of external rescue) without a map and compass. Young people needed to know how to maintain their physical well-being or heal themselves, and in case of illness or injury, maintain a stable moral state. The project's objective was to address issues such as how to find water and food in the forest, strategies for behavior in the forest, shelter for the night, fire-starting methods, and navigation on the ground. It also aimed to explore possible psychological reactions of a person caught in an extreme situation. In terms of Earth's pollution, our goal was to educate young people on what actions can be taken to save our world. Non-formal education methods utilized in the project, which were based on the primary principles of Erasmus+, were designed to develop key competencies for lifelong learning. These included working with literary and internet sources, conducting interviews with the Ministry of Emergency Situations, and organizing surveillance workshops, games, role-plays, etc. We invited two camping instructors to organize practical workshops, as well as a medical worker to teach young people first aid. Many workshops were conducted outdoors, providing practical examples of how to behave, maintain control, and avoid panic. The exchange's intercultural component offered participants the opportunity to broaden their horizons, develop thinking, and improve skills. Throughout the project, participants learned the importance of teamwork, such as organizing, helping each other, distributing roles, staying calm and positive, sticking together, conserving energy, and caring for others. They learned survival skills such as building a shelter, making a fire, finding water, and foraging for food. In addition, we drew the participants' attention to environmental threats and useful resources; taught them not to panic; demonstrated how to administer first aid; prepared them for negative, challenging, and complicated situations; and set goals and priorities for surviving in nature with a rational and practical approach. During the youth exchange, participants dealt with cultural differences, communicated in a common language, kept all team members active, avoided leadership conflicts, and learned to accept and respect different ideas and ideologies. The youth participating in our project learned a lot and developed key competences using non-formal methods. The opportunities that Erasmus+ provided were incredible, and the prospect of mobility for young people from our countries represented a great opportunity and motivation for all involved. The "Participating in Nature" youth exchange aimed to offer young people a rich intercultural learning experience that would also significantly enhance their environmental and nature awareness and empower them to act upon it.
