We are all becoming increasingly used to using our mobiles and other screen devices all day round. This translates into a craving for quick access to content and permanent stimulation, generating "continuous partial attention", which experts link to undermining social interactions, creativity, and academic performance. Another side to this urban, sedentary, screen-based lifestyle is the loss of contact with nature, leading to the nature deficit disorder condition common particularly among young people detached from natural environments. Numerous studies have shown the importance of interacting with nature as it contributes to the health and wellbeing of young people, increasing their ability to concentrate and better manage emotions. This project responded to the growing abuse of permanently connected technological devices, in addition to the decreasing contact young people had with nature, by providing innovative and inclusive non-formal education within the context of a youth exchange. Nature and mindfulness tools together had the potential to not only offer deep, meaningful, and self-reflective experiences but also led individuals toward inclusive attitudes. Thus, this project reached out and involved youth from disadvantaged backgrounds, such as refugees, migrants, and those who had fled the war in Ukraine and the 2020 Karabagh war between Armenia and Azerbaijan, to practice eco-mindfulness as a powerful tool for equity and inclusion. The overall aim of the project was to create a learning environment where young people experienced the synergy of mindfulness and nature-based methodologies and became a driving force for equity and inclusion in their societies for youth in general and refugees, migrants, and those who had to flee wars in particular. The project consisted of 3 stages and encompassed 2 youth exchange activities. Stage #1: Youth Exchange Activity A1 in Yerevan, Armenia (19-28 January 2024) Young people from 4 countries (Denmark, Armenia, Georgia, and Italy) gathered in Armenia to reach the following objectives: - Decided themes, topics, and methods of the Youth Exchange Activity A2. - Equipped participants to plan and implement community-based activities using mindfulness and nature-based methods in Stage #2 of this project. - Explored how to support young refugees, migrants, and those who had fled the war in Ukraine and Armenia using eco-mindfulness activities. - Learned and practiced various eco-mindfulness activities. - Discovered the connection between Nature-Based Methods and mindfulness. - Explored mindfulness and its relevance to young people. Stage #2: Participants planned and implemented community-based activities using mindfulness and nature-based methods. The activities were community-driven and youth-led, totaling 12 activities (3 in each country). Stage #3: Youth Exchange Activity A2 in Vig, Denmark (4 - 9 July 2024 ). Participants convened back again in Vig, Denmark, to reach the following objectives: - Explored the link between mindfulness and sustainable climate adaptation. - Shared best practices related to the implementation of community-based activities using mindfulness and nature-based methods (from Stage #2). - Explored and experienced more activities in nature that improved mental health and enhanced a sense of belonging. - Created projects for young people with fewer opportunities from refugees and migrants backgrounds to be applied under Erasmus+ based on nature and mindfulness. - Promoted Erasmus+ and explained how young people could be involved in it. - Created an online booklet, “The Art and Science of Eco-Mindfulness” to spread knowledge and tools to the broader public. The project used outdoor activities in natural environments that made active use of nature as a central element of the activity, not just a pleasant frame. The methodology of this project was based on non-formal learning methods and principles, self-reflection, intercultural communication, cultural submersion, group discussions, interactive presentations, and participant-led workshops.
