"Fertile Futures" aims to address the rising levels of eco-anxiety and overwhelm among young Europeans by providing them with the tools to transform these challenging emotions into positive, meaningful action. Our primary objective is to empower young people to become resilient and active citizens by immersing them in the "Active Hope" framework, a non-formal educational practice that redefines hope as a collaborative and active process. From a youth work perspective, the project will equip participants with practical coping strategies for mental well-being, foster a supportive international community to combat feelings of isolation, and empower them with the skills and motivation to take on environmental and social challenges from a place of resourcefulness and collective belonging.
