    << Objectives >>The aim of our project is to bring together four youth NGOs from the Czech Republic, Bulgaria, Macedonia and Slovakia that focus on fighting anti-semitism among young people. In the course of the project, youth workers from these countries will share their good practice examples, tips and experiences, thus creating a knowledge transfer that will bring benefit all organisations. Improving the quality of the activities provided by each organisation is the main objective of the project.<< Implementation >>Four meetings will take place during the project, each in one of the partner countries. During the meetings there will be discussions among the project team and sharing of good practice examples, a visit to an institution dealing with Jewish culture or anti-semitism, and most importantly, a workshop on anti-semitism in English will be conducted by youth workers from foreign countries in the host country, targeting local youth.<< Results >>After the end of the project, we expect to increase the competence of organizations and improve the quality of activities towards youth regarding anti-semitism. Furthermore, we believe that this project will be the basis for the creation of a European network of youth organisations dealing with anti-semitism. We see great potential for the project in the follow-up activities. Last but not least, we expect a direct positive impact on the young people who will participate in the workshops.

    "<< Background >>Inclusion & Fight against Climate Change are the key cornerstones of EU policy. Besides this, Forest Youth goes together with SustainableDevelopment Goal ensuring equal opportunities and rights to ALL, means that conditions are created to enable young people to fulfil their potential despite their conditions and marginalisation. Also ""Climate Action"" and ""Good health and wellbeing"" as that one is especially important after and during the pandemic period.COVID-19 pandemic has influenced everyone's lives for the worse. Youth with fewer opportunities, specifically, had even greater trouble coping with that. Improving their physical and mental health will help their overall mindset and attitude, resulting in a significant confidence boost, leading them to stand on their feet and chase opportunities. Reduced stress and a healthy mind and body can help them form better human connections, thus increasing their chances of passing a job interview or forming valuable friendships.In the Forest Youth project, we are going to ENGAGE youth with Forest Bathing Methodology by paying attention to youth's wellbeing after covid19 and even during the pandemic situation when in many cases we have forests, parks, gardens (outdoor and indoor) and plants left, on the same way, we are paying attention and raising awareness to the green nature. This point correlates with our second priority ""Environment and fight against climate change"", as the forests are the lungs of the planet, we need to have the greatest attention to them, starting from the youth.The project Forest Youth is going to CONNECT youth to the common community via Forest Youth Platform and EMPOWER via local activities and initiatives.All partners are highly focused to involve youth having fewer opportunities to ensure INCLUSION of youth. Although the youth itself had experienced a huge negative impact of the covid19 pandemic, including their wellbeing and social inclusion issues, the project aims to help them to overcome issues and even more - to EMPOWER them for the actions towards the fight against climate change.<< Objectives >>The Forest Youth project aims to improve 4 areas in the youth field:(1) Youth Wellbeing: In a recent survey of UNICEF (2021) with young people across the EU, almost 1 in 5 responded that they identified as suffering from mental health problems or symptoms such as depression or anxiety. Participants described a complexity relating to their desires to receive greater mental health and wellbeing support. The Forest Youth project based on Forest Bathing methodology will improve youths health & wellbeing, including low blood pressure, decreased stress,improved mood, reduced anxiety, increased ability to concentrate, etc.(2) Inclusion: the activities of the Forest Youth project are focused on the main target group - marginalised youth. So, in engaging and connecting activities, they will develop a sense of belonging to the community, better social inclusion via common goals and activities.(3) Youth Entrepreneurship & Initiative taking: during the empowerment and initiative-taking sessions marginalised youth will develop a sense of entrepreneurship, will gain a number of transversal skills and will be empowered to take action. The beneficial outcomes to youth empowerment programs are improved social skills, improved behaviour, increased academic achievement, increased self-esteem and increased self-efficacy.(4) Actions on Climate Change: Youth is identified as one of the nine major groups of civil society in Agenda 21, with the right and responsibility to participate in sustainable development. The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, Article 6 on Education, Training and Public Awareness, calls to implement educational and training programmes on climate change to educate, empower and engage all stakeholders. The Forest Youth project calls youth to act NOW and TODAY!<< Implementation >>In the framework of Erasmus+ project Forest Youth, methodology for youth workers “Forest Youth: from improving Youth Wellbeing to Empowering Youth for Actions"" and Forest Youth Platform is going to develop. This will be followed by train-the-trainer sessions (at least 48 trainers will be trained) and later learning, empowerment and initiative-taking sessions will be led by these trainers to marginalised youth (at least 240 young people). At least 48 initiatives will be initiated by youth and supported by trainers and partner organisations. Active youth participation as one of the key aspects in the EU policy will be implemented in the Forest Youth project. Forest Youth Platform will serve for connecting and networking of community with similar goals and activities.<< Results >>The following results will be achieved during the project lifetime:- Methodology for youth workers “Forest Youth: from improving Youth Wellbeing to Empowering Youth for Actions” (approx. 60 pages) in English, Lithuanian, Italian, Spanish, Greek and Bulgarian languages;- At least 48 youth workers/trainers will be trained during the piloting stage of the methodology;- At least 240 youth will participate in Forest Youth activities, will initiate and organise initiatives on the fight against climate change;- At least 48 initiatives by young people will be organised.- Project website will be set where all produced materials will be published as open source.- Project Facebook page & Instagram will be set to keep updated about the project (frequency once a week) with at least 600 followers.- At least 240 users will be on the Forest Youth Platform which will be available in English, Lithuanian, Italian, Spanish, Greek and Bulgarian languages.- 6 multiplier events with at least 180 participants ready to implement Forest Youth methodology in their organisations and their daily activities."
