The international project "Play to Grow" aimed to address issues of marginalisation and social exclusion affecting the target groups of the partnership through methods of outdoor education. The project focused on learning how to cooperate, play, and express in a natural setting, fostering social inclusion of young people by encouraging playful collaboration with a team to reach common objectives. Outdoor education provides opportunities to develop positive relationships with the environment, others, and ourselves through interaction with the natural world. These relationships are essential for the wellbeing and sustainability of individuals, society, and our environment. A common analysis with our target groups allowed us to identify various issues related to marginalisation that our participants were facing, especially linked to the ongoing pandemic. This caused an increase in anxiety (21% of young people in Europe stated they experienced anxiety often, if not always, according to Eurostat), leading to feelings of loneliness and disconnection from the community. The young people we worked with lacked active participation and a sense of belonging, with a strong need to move together towards the same direction and feel a sense of unity again. During the planning phase, we analyzed and identified the participants' needs which we addressed through this project: - Participants needed to feel part of a group, a community, have common goals, and move towards the same directions; - They needed new motivation and inspiration to restore their sense of initiative, be creative, find new opportunities, and be more active in their local community; - They needed to connect with peers facing similar challenges but from different backgrounds; - They needed to acquire new soft skills to support them in dealing with everyday life's challenges; - They needed new tools for their professional and personal growth, learning new innovative outdoor methods to incentivize spending more quality time in nature and valuing the environment more. Considering these issues, together with our target groups, we designed an international mobility project for young people at risk of marginalisation. The aim was to foster active participation, social inclusion, and personal and professional growth through non-formal methods such as outdoor and experiential learning. The main objectives of the project were: - Increasing intercultural cooperation between 20 participants, 4 group leaders, 2 facilitators, and 4 partner organizations; - Learning new ways of communication with people from different backgrounds, organizations, and communities; - Fostering social inclusion through non-formal learning activities and working together towards the same goal; - Increasing important soft skills such as empathy, emotional intelligence, and interpersonal awareness, which are fundamental in dealing with contemporary pressures and issues; - Empowering participants and participating organizations in actively working to reach their goals; - Developing participants' sense of initiative and fostering their active participation; - Promoting outdoor education methods with our targets, partners, and community as a tool for increasing well-being, mental health, and community-building; - Creating a sense of belonging, supporting participants in preventing loneliness and feelings of disconnection, and increasing motivation and active participation in each participating community. These objectives were reached through a project, with the main activity being an 8-day youth exchange (excluding travel days). During this exchange, the group of 26 participants created and experienced different workshops based on cooperation through experiential and outdoor education.
