The project's Hiking for Better Earth vision was to increase the time young people spend outdoors and help them experience the benefits of hiking for both physical and mental health by means of NFE, environmental and outdoor education. The objectives were to: - encourage young people to focus on their mental and physical health and consider the benefits of spending time in nature, - use hiking as a tool for increasing the participation of young Europeans with fewer opportunities in physical activity, - share with young people tools and practices on how to plan a day spent outdoors, - raise awareness of eco-friendly outdoor activities and encourage their practice. The objectives were met by crafting a series of workshops centred around eco-conscious and physically active activities. A group of young individuals spent a week in Zell am See in Austria, actively engaging in these workshops. These sessions not only introduced them to the joys of spending quality time outdoors but also illustrated how they could enhance their well-being, both mental and physical. The workshops covered skills like hiking, map reading, compass use, and allowed them to engage in discussions on environmental protection, green skills, and eco-friendly outdoor activities. Through these exchanges, they shared knowledge and learned from one another. By participating, these youngsters gained firsthand experience in connecting with nature, benefiting their health and fitness. The workshops also fostered healthy habits and instilled the importance of outdoor activity in their daily lives. Post-exchange, young people organised hikes at home, applying the skills learned and sharing their experiences on social media and a dedicated WhatsApp group. This group remains active, serving as a platform for EHIKE participants to motivate each other, share achievements, and continue their hiking pursuits.
