In this project we will be the main coordinator and we will have the lead in the development of Intellectual output 1 (theoretical framework about nature intelligence). We will bring in our experience and expertise about the relationship between nature connection and wellbeing. 

We currently coordinate two more Erasmus+ strategic partnerships. 
1. Pride of Place: an innovative school curriculum based on inquiry based learning, to (re-) connect young people with their rural areas. see more on www.prideofplace.eu
2. Positive Mental Health promotion: in this project we focus on how young people can build up their mental health resources to increase their wellbeing, happiness, functioning in life and more. you can read more about this project on www.positivementalhealth.eu

In the past we have organised many training courses for youth work professionals and youth programmes. In these youth programmes we enjoy working with young people with a disability and other vulnerable youth groups, such as young people who stutter, young cancer survivors and kids with autism spectrum disorders.

We are working on an update as we haven't updated our website since 2017.

I am amazed by nature and I feel strongly that people would benefit from reconnecting with nature in all aspects of life. 

Besides working for IVN, I enjoy creating new things. Therefore in my free time you will find me making clothes, painting and growing plants on my balcony garden. I do my best to look for beautiful things where ever I go and I usually find them within nature, art and people.  

We hope to raise consciousness about nature to achieve behavioural change towards nature. We believe education is key to preserve and protect nature.  We do this together with our professional team, supporters and volunteers. 

We work on 4 main themes: Child & Nature, Nature & Health, Nature & Recreation,  Nature in your neighbourhood.

The past year we have tended to an extra theme with the focus of youth (12-30), in which Joris has a key role.

Our team consists of the experienced trainer who work for Slovenian NA, a trainer that has finished a SALTO YOUTH training programme Training of Trainers and long-term youth workers.

I'm in the field of non formal education and experiential learning since 1989.  From 1998 to 2003 I was serving the  “Advisory Council”, the political body of the “Youth and Sport Directorate of the Council of Europe”, as vice president. During those years I developed an expertise in facilitating participation processes, community work, intercultural communication and learning, training for trainers in experiential learning, personal and group development. Since 2004 I'm erving Kamaleonte and its communit as president and I'm one of the founder members of the international academy of experiential education “Via Experientia”,

where I facilitates long-term training programmes for trainers and leaders on “How to facilitate groups and lead teams”.
My main strength as a facilitator and coach is the ability to
process individual growth and group dynamics through experiences and reflective practices.

ABOUT ANGELICA
Being raised between Africa and the Middel Easter countries, that's where I developed my deep love for nature and for diversity. That experience contributed in providing me with curiosity and an open minded perspective. 
I'm a practitioner in the field of experiential learning and for quite some time I've been training and facilitating groups and individuals in their personal and professional growth and well-being. 
Reflection and reflective practices are a core element in the learning processes I facilitate. I've been working in Kamaleonte for non formal school programs on the topics of authentic and inclusive leadership, multiple intelligences and emotional intelligence. I am  also one of the founding members of the international non formal network of “Via Experientia” and of ALP - activating leadership potential. I believe in the power and value of collective intelligence and I see the group as a source for learning.  I thinks that diversity is a value that enriches people and the context in which they live, learn and work. Otto Scharmer’s “Theory U” and Arawana Hayashi’s social presencing theatre are my source of inspiration and I'm more and more integrating their practices into my work .
