NURTURE follows a person-centred pathway that connects young people with real work and guidance. It begins with career counselling and careful matching, continues with an 80-hour mentored apprenticeship, and builds in ongoing monitoring and feedback, ending with formal recognition of learning.
“I met many new people from different countries and I actually made a lot of new friends. Everyone was very open, friendly and ready to talk to, so it was easy to connect. During the sessions, I learned the main steps of preparing and leading a workshop. I understood how to communicate with young people, how to keep their attention. I also learned how to work in a team and how important it is to listen to others. The activities helped me to feel more confident and to express my ideas without fear.”
“There are no words that can describe an experience such as this youth exchange. As a young high schooler, going on her first exchange, I was overwhelmed with a little bit of fear, but a lot of joy. EcoLeaders gave me a space to grow, think and live in the moment. It gave me a chance to express myself and meet my peers from different parts of Europe. But most importantly, this exchange let me create memories that will never be forgotten.”
