Why do we organise Green Games Kosovo?
We want to connect and inspire active volunteers in the Naturefriends network from Central Europe and the Balkan region to combine experiential and non-formal education methods 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, exchange and develop new 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.
