GREEN NEXUS

Study Visit

25 November - 4 December 2024 | Buccino , Italy

Green Nexus is an Erasmus+ seminar connecting youth work and eco-practices. It promotes place-based education through actions like composting, insect housing, wild plant harvesting, soil caring, creative writing, reading and world-building.

Green Nexus is an Erasmus+ Seminar designed to bridge the gap between youth work, eco-practices and ecosystems. The project promotes place-based education through adoption of caring actions (e.g. composting, insect-housing, wild plants harvesting, stone wall building, mulching, soilcare, eco-designing) that foster the development of local communities engaged in the process of learning, unlearning and bonding with local ecosystems and their inhabitants (humans, plants, animals, fungi, bacteria). 

Through means of permaculture and traditional eco-practices, the project supports discussing and addressing key environmental challenges such as biodiversity loss, soil degradation, and pollution, offering a holistic framework for educating, thinking and acting. 

The project will equip youth workers with methods for creating hands-on, place-based education that promotes systemic thinking (and other relevant sustainability skills), with a focus on strengthening the bond between communities and their ecosystems. Educational tools based on NFE methods, outdoor education and permaculture will be explored. The project also aims at building capacities of youth NGOs and permaculture projects in building place-specific ecological education.
