Green Outdoor Adventure

RESULTS

The exchange began with ice-breaking and group cohesion sessions, where participants bonded through energizers, storytelling, and creative team-building games. Together, they created a social contract, setting the tone for cooperation and respect during the week.

The following days focused on trust and teamwork. Through parachute games, the trust fall, and a scavenger hunt across the town, participants learned to rely on one another, strengthen group cohesion, and collaborate across cultures. They also discovered the possibilities of Erasmus+ and Youthpass, exploring how international mobility can support their personal and professional growth.

From Day 3 onwards, participants immersed themselves in nature-based and environmental activities. They joined a guided hike, learned about local biodiversity, and took part in a trash collection action in the local community, contributing directly to the improvement of their surroundings. Workshops on sustainable living, eco-friendly practices, and creative upcycling gave them practical tools and insights into responsible living. They also worked in groups to design art projects using recycled materials and later created nature-inspired vision boards, combining creativity and environmental awareness with intercultural collaboration.

Sports and outdoor adventure played a central role, too. Participants enjoyed team sports and games such as volleyball, pétanque, soccer, and the traditional Hungarian game Méta. They also experienced sensory trust-building activities like blind walks, which encouraged cooperation and awareness of the environment. These sessions promoted physical well-being, strategy, and teamwork, while encouraging participants to challenge themselves and step out of their comfort zones.

The exchange concluded with Day 7 dedicated to reflection and closure. Participants finalized their Youthpass certificates, looked back on the highlights of the week through “Memory Lane,” and presented their national dissemination plans to bring the project’s impact back to their communities. The program ended with a farewell celebration, where participants shared memories, gratitude, and the strong bonds formed during the week.

As a result, participants not only developed key competences such as teamwork, leadership, and intercultural communication, but also gained confidence, resilience, and a renewed motivation to live healthier, more active lives. They left with new friendships, unforgettable experiences, and the skills to inspire others in their local communities.
