The aim of ReLeaf Through Art is to strengthen youth work practice by equipping youth workers with creative, inclusive, and sustainable tools that respond to the urgent challenges of climate anxiety, social disconnection, and limited participation. By combining eco-wellness, artistic expression, and community engagement, the project creates a new model of youth work that is accessible, and impactful. The project responds to the growing emotional distress among young people due to climate change by equipping youth workers with creative, nature-based strategies to help youth process eco-anxiety, reconnect with nature, and turn their concerns into action.From a youth work perspective, our key objectives are to raise awareness of eco-anxiety and climate grief, ensuring that youth workers understand how these issues affect young people and how to address them effectively. We want to introduce artistic expression as a tool for emotional resilience and activism, showing how music, storytelling, visual arts, and performance can help young people express their concerns and find motivation for action.Another core aim is to strengthen the mental health support capacity of youth workers, providing them with eco-wellness techniques, such as mindfulness, grounding exercises, and creative therapy, to integrate into their daily youth work. From the perspective of youth work practice, our objectives are: 1) Strengthening competences of youth workers: to train at least 35 youth workers (5 per partner country) in eco-artivism, storytelling, music, and nature-based wellness practices. This objective directly contributes to Youth Goal 10: Sustainable Green Europe and to the Erasmus+ Green Priority, as it provides youth workers with tools to guide young people in acting on environmental issues while caring for their mental health. 2) Supporting youth mental health in practice: to provide youth workers with at least 10 transferable methods for addressing eco-anxiety and stress. This will be documented in Youthpass and through follow-up action plans. This aligns with Youth Goal 5: Mental Health and Well-being and the Erasmus+ priority on Inclusion and Diversity, ensuring that youth work integrates emotional resilience alongside education. 3) Ensuring inclusivity and access: to engage youth workers supporting rural youth (Portugal, Spain, Latvia), refugee and migrant youth (Greece, Italy, Malta, Netherlands), and those facing socio-economic barriers. This contributes to Youth Goal 3: Inclusive Societies and directly implements the Erasmus+ Inclusion and Diversity Strategy by reaching communities often excluded from international learning opportunities. 4) Fostering youth participation and ownership: to ensure that each trained youth worker implements at least one eco-artivism or creative wellness activity within 6 months, reaching an estimated 150 young people across Europe. This reflects Youth Goal 9: Space and Participation for All, giving young people platforms to act, express, and lead change in their own contexts. 5) Creating long-term impact in youth work: to develop an open-access toolkit with methodologies, case studies, and video tutorials, reaching at least 420 downloads/views within the first year through SALTO, Erasmus+ networks, and youth NGOs.This supports Erasmus+’s focus on capacity building, cross-border cooperation, and professionalisation of youth work. Through these objectives, the project directly advances the Erasmus+ Programme priorities (Inclusion, Green Practices, Digitalisation, Participation) and the European Youth Goals, ensuring that youth work across Europe becomes more resilient, inclusive, and capable of responding to today’s social and environmental challenges.
