About the Project
“Outdoor Way” is an Erasmus+ Youth Exchange organised by Hope of Youth, taking place in Loutraki, Greece from October 29th to November 6th, 2026. Through outdoor activities, non-formal education, intercultural learning and mindfulness practices, the project aims to create a space where participants can explore healthier lifestyles and develop practical life skills.
During the exchange, participants will take part in activities such as hiking, nature walks, mindfulness sessions, well-being workshops, team challenges, creative reflection, and intercultural activities. These experiences are designed to support both personal growth and collective responsibility.
