September 2024 - September 2025

Exploring the challenges, barriers, and green skills youth workers face when integrating nature-based learning into their work.

Encouraging the exchange of good practices around nature-based learning for resilience across different countries.

Developing an innovative, nature-inclusive toolkit for non-formal education - designed to help youth workers strengthen resilience among vulnerable young people (ages 14-18), fostering their sense of inclusion in society and in youth work.

Promoting nature-based learning as a powerful way to build resilience within our networks, in youth work practice, and across relevant youth organizations.

Strengthening the knowledge, skills, and collaboration of partner organizations through capacity building and exchange, using the opportunities of the Erasmus+ cooperation partnerships programme.

Together, we embarked on a journey into nature-based learning. By combining our expertise - OBA with its strong focus on ecopedagogy, and FIN with its background in ecopsychology - we created a rich, shared learning experience.

This journey has led to the development of our Resilience in Nature Toolkit. Now, we are excited to share it with our networks - inviting others to discover how nature can support the resilience and well-being of young people.

In a view weeks we will add our Toolkit and activities on the website.

Connecting young people with nature is the driving force of the FIN and OBA. We believe that we take care of the things people we are connected with. By connecting people with nature, they will take better care of nature and of themselves.
Youth workers are asking - how can I make the first step to implement nature in my work? And when we are talking about green skills, what do we mean?

We want to make green skills more concrete, for example: learn how to see nature, wellbeing and resilience from different cultural perspectives (intercultural learning); reflective skills with nature as a mirror; how nature can inspire us to see new perspectives (allow diversity); environmental learning and boosting a sustainable mindset, eco-friendly living.

Youth workers tell us that they tend to focus on fixing problems, and that this is not helping young people on well-being. Step by step they are embracing an ecosystem approach, by seeing young people in relation to their environment.

This is a more circular way of thinking, where movement, sleep, food, rest and stress influences how we feel. It is a more holistic approach where social, psychological and physical facets are all connected, Just like in nature everything is connected. And the challenge is where do we enter in the system to help young people to a pathway of wellbeing.

Young People 14-18 years
Connection & Competences: Young people face psychological challenges during adolescence. Exacerbated by crises, leading to increased demand for personal resilience skills and engaging in a supportive environment.

Youth Workers
Building Resilience: The need for concrete green skills who play a crucial role in building resilience among young people.
Nature-Based Resilience: Nature provides opportunities for personal growth, problem-solving, adaptability, emotional
regulation, and self-discovery, enhancing youths' coping skills and wellbeing.

In October 2025, we will start a unique business in Tenerife that combines nature, sustainability, and creativity. Through our goats and cheese production, mountain grazing, and inspiring workshops, we aim to connect people of all ages with nature. Together, we grow, learn, and experience in a green and safe environment.

We welcome school classes to learn about nature and local seniors to create art. We also invite everyone to explore nature together and feel what it does to you. We use nature and art as powerful tools to learn about feelings, passion, and emotion.

Send us a message — maybe we can support each other!

I’m Birgit Snelleman form The Netherlands, living in both city-area and in nature. For many years I’ve been coaching, training, and guiding people with great joy on their life journey. I work exclusively outdoors, both with individuals and groups. Forest bathing is a nature-based practice that is deeply relaxing, healing, and—above all—fosters a strong connection with nature. I’m also passionate about raising awareness of nature for the benefit of both human well-being and the care of the natural world.

As many young professionals struggle with mental, emotional, and spiritual challenges, I feel called to guide them back to nature—because we are nature. The health benefits of reconnecting with the natural world are increasingly supported by scientific evidence worldwide. At the same time, climate, biodiversity, and environmental crises are escalating, making it essential for humanity to raise its collective nature consciousness in order to prevent further harm, restore ecosystems, and support rewilding efforts.

My passion is taking people outside, to use their senses and reconnect with (their) nature. This happens naturally while they learn skills to gain cofidence and feel more at ease outside.
