What came out of it?
During this project 23 youngsters worked together on many of their soft skills, such as communication, cooperation, planning, organising and problem solving in a variety of activities: cooking, hiking, embodiment workshops, juggling and much more!
​
The aim of the project was to rediscover two elements – nature and movement – to create a space where people can create, play, learn and inspire each other. In our countryside home Rites, for 9 days together with other participants from Estonia, Greece, Italy and Poland they had a chance to cooperate, create a community together, share their life experiences and help each other to find their next challenge in life - their own next step.
