How we create change
We believe that resilient communities start with empowered young people and supported youth workers. Through Y-REC, we:
Empower young people to improve their mental well-being through meaningful engagement with nature and community action.
Equip youth workers and youth organisations with the knowledge, tools, and skills to integrate mental well-being and environmental sustainability into their work.
Engage young people in designing and implementing community-led urban restoration projects.
Transform neglected urban spaces into greener, healthier, and more inclusive environments.
Foster leadership, active citizenship, and youth participation in local decision-making processes.
Strengthen collaboration between young people, youth workers, local stakeholders, and communities.
Develop practical resources and innovative approaches that support youth-led action for resilient communities.
Promote knowledge exchange and cooperation between organisations across Europe.
Raise awareness of the connection between mental well-being, nature, and sustainable urban living.
