About the local hosting organization
A community for youth where you can grow through EU projects and non-formal education. Focus on sustainability and mental health.
Evergreen Association operates at the intersection of environmental sustainability and mental health promotion, specifically addressing Generation Z challenges such as digital burnout and eco-anxiety. Our mission is implemented through a unique "Phygital" approach that bridges the gap between the virtual and physical worlds, utilizing Non-Formal Education and Experiential Learning methodologies to foster holistic wellbeing among youth.
We achieve our strategic objectives through the following core pillars:
Erasmus+ Mobility & Professional Development: We organize Youth Exchanges and Training Courses to promote intercultural dialogue and soft skills, while also providing capacity-building opportunities for youth workers in nature-based methods.
Wellbeing & Sustainability Workshops: We conduct local activities combining digital detox tools with outdoor education to encourage healthy digital habits and environmental awareness.
Inclusion & Empowerment: Our programs are specifically designed for young people aged 13-30, with a strong focus on engaging participants with fewer opportunities (NEETs, minorities, and rural youth) to help them become active, resilient European citizens.
