and create this experience together.
Let's explore and experiment together with activities and

Go go Green! is a 7-day training course which aims to introduce and explore
green skills and ecologically oriented attitudes in our daily life and work through body, nature, movement, hands on and community based methods, understanding ecology as an awareness of relation-making on all levels – within ourselves, among humans, between humans and their multifaceted natural environment.

This training is designed for youth workers, trainers, educators, NGO leaders, especially for those living and working in rural areas or developing environmentally oriented activities.
We aim to have overall number of 25 participants from
Czech Republic, Slovenia, Italy, Romania, Latvia, Greece and France.
The participants must be over 18 years old and have a
communicative level of English language, so they can
participate fully in a program that will be held in English.
This training is for youth workers who:
● want to explore and experiment with living in a community, daily care for themselves and the environment, body based methods, movement, dance, gardening, self-reflection and group sharing,
● are open to sharing their own skills and learning the skills with others,
● want to use and imply the learned skills in their professional work with people,
● are motivated and willing to commit to work during the whole duration of the project (preparation, training course, follow-up activities)
The course will also have a strong component based on the sharing of ideas, opinions, experiences and best practices, so if you consider joining the training, start thinking of some activities, you would like to propose.
