The team will select the participants based on the criteria mentioned above and taking into consideration geographical, gender and experiential balance among participants. The activity is for participants from the Partner countries Germany, Czech Republic, Poland, Hungary, Belgium and Portugal.
Why do we organise the GreenGames?
We want to connect and inspire young people to combine experiential and non-formal education methods to be able to develop a relationship with nature and environment in their youth work. We provide the participants with tools and methods for attractive and effective ways of training on environmental issues. During the training courses the participants experience and exchange methods for environmental education that can be used in activities with e.g. local youth groups. The participants can bring this fresh knowledge and skills to their own organisation to motivate their respective target group.
Costs:
Between 10 and 98 euro, depending on country of residence and being a Naturefriend/student (or both). Travel costs covered for 70%. And if you would like to come but cannot pay the fee? We don’t want money to be an obstacle for anyone to participate to our activities; on the other hand we want committed and motivated participants, who value the opportunity. Therefore, we employ the principle ‘pay what you can, and a little bit more’. So do contact us if money is an issue, but you do want to come.
