Open area of your European life. 2023

The project "Open-area of your European life" is Youth participation activities, which aim is to integrate young people from Norway and Poland with Ukrainian refugees through outdoor activities and mindfulness practices and also to involve young people in the cultural, social, and civic life of the EU .

The project is implemented in cooperation with: RE:ACT Volda, Erasmus+ ungdom

Events implemented in a frame of the project:

Poznan, Strykowo plaza, July 2023.

On Saturday, July 15th, we had our very first one-day outdoor event called "Nature Bridge" at the beach in Strykowo. We began our day with yoga to relax and get ready for the fun ahead. Then, everyone got to try kayaking and test their balance. We had yummy Polish food for lunch and sweet watermelon for dessert. Towards the end of the day, we had a special dance session where everyone could have fun moving their bodies and feeling happy. It was a day to enjoy nature, try new things, and have a great time together.

Sokoliki mountains, August 2023.

The enchanting campsite "Tabor pod Krzywą" in the Polish Sokoliki mountains, hosted a 4-day outdoor event titled "Embrace, Explore, Evolve." Our mornings began with serene meditation sessions and invigorating exercises. Throughout the day, we embarked on exhilarating hikes, delved into the world of rock climbing, collaborated on preparing dinners, and concluded our evenings with warm conversations and melodious singing around the fire under the starlit sky. The event offered participants a precious opportunity to disconnect from urban life, unwind amidst nature's embrace, introspect in solitude, and forge new companionships.

You’re Welcome: climb up the trust hill! Poznan, 2023.

"You're Welcome: climb up the trust hill!" is a project that aims to provide quality free-time activities for residents with different ethnic backgrounds in Poznań.

We want to give participants an opportunity to spend time on physical activities and give them a hobby that will stay with them long after it. Through a variety of engaging and inclusive activities, we aim to foster a sense of community, promote healthy lifestyles, and create an environment where individuals can connect, learn, and grow together. We strive to promote the well-being and integration of all participants as they acquire climbing skills.

Climb into Youth Work. Andalusia, Spain, 2023.

The "Climb into Youth Work" training course took place in Andalusia, Spain, in March 2023.

Training was organised by Logos and Lernlabor organizations with the support of Rocio Monteoliva Herrera and local partners, the Andalusian Mountain Federation (Federación Andaluza de Deportes de Montaña).

Participants had the opportunity to explore the beautiful climbing sectors in the western Sierra Nevada, meet local mountain guides and pioneers of the Andalusian climbing scene, and enhance their skills in organizing climbing activities for groups with mixed abilities. Additionally, they developed follow-up projects with local stakeholders.

Throughout the project, participants engaged in top-rope climbing and lead-climbing workshops, learned how to set up and clean anchor points, and practiced setting up multi-pitch belay stations and abseiling. They also received training in risk assessment, giving and receiving feedback, and utilizing non-formal approaches to achieve learning outcomes. Workshops on funding and project development were also provided.

A highlight of the project was the inter-generational climbing day, where participants had the opportunity to climb with Andalusian climbing pioneers and meet Javier Aguilar, the world record holder in blind lead climbing. We are grateful to our participants, Rocio Monteoliva Herrera, our hosts, and our funders JUGEND für Europa for making this project possible.

This project was funded by the European Union.
