The FOREST GROWTH project share an observation: a large proportion of European and Mediterranean youth today live disconnected from nature and their environment. Yet, this sensitive relationship with living things constitutes an essential foundation for individual well-being, for the emergence of ecological awareness, and for the collective construction of responses to climate, social, and democratic challenges. Our intention is therefore to create a unique educational framework, where the forest becomes a space for learning, experimentation, and personal and collective transformation. The project aims to enable young people to: - develop an intimate connection with nature, through practices derived from ecopsychology and nature education: sensory immersion, observation, silence, creativity, and cooperation; - find a community of peers with whom to share emotions, questions, and desires for action, in order to escape the isolation associated, in particular, with eco-anxiety; - to strengthen essential social and intercultural skills in the 21st century (listening, critical thinking, autonomy, cooperation, conflict management) in an inclusive and supportive environment; - to transform their awareness into concrete actions, by engaging in community, school, or community projects upon their return. In terms of youth work, FOREST GROWTH relies on non-formal education and collective experience to promote emancipation and autonomy. By experiencing citizenship in an intercultural context and in nature, young people become active participants in their learning, explore their potential, and acquire tools that can be transferred to their daily, professional, and civic lives. The exchange is intended to be inclusive: particular attention is paid to the participation of young people with fewer opportunities.
