Green Behavior Youth Organization participated as a partner in the Erasmus+ Youth Exchange project “For the Better: Sustainability” (Reference No: 2024-3-HU01-KA152-YOU-000267485), which took place from 18–25 May 2025. Participants gathered for an informative session where they were introduced to the project's objectives, schedule, and the main sustainability themes that would be explored throughout the exchange. Interactive ice-breaking and team-building activities helped young people from different cultural backgrounds get to know one another, creating a positive atmosphere and fostering cooperation within the group.


During sessions focused on the Erasmus+ programme, participants learned about the opportunities available to young people across Europe. Through presentations, discussions, and interactive activities, they explored the priorities of Erasmus+, its impact on youth development, and the ways international mobility projects can contribute to personal and professional growth.


Workshops dedicated to Youthpass and the eight key competences enabled participants to better understand how learning outcomes are recognised and documented within Erasmus+ projects. Through group work and presentations, they examined competencies such as communication, entrepreneurship, digital skills, cultural awareness, and learning to learn. These activities encouraged reflection on personal strengths while improving teamwork and presentation skills.


Reflection and evaluation activities provided participants with an opportunity to assess what they had learned throughout the day and share their impressions with the group. The sessions helped establish a common understanding of the project’s learning process and laid a strong foundation for the sustainability-focused activities that would follow during the exchange.


The Erasmus+ Mobility of Youth Workers project “Legacy of the Soil: Sustainable Agriculture and Safe Food” (Project No. 2024-3-ES02-KA153-YOU-000260774) was implemented by Green Behavior Youth Organization and hosted by Generaciones Saludables España in Gijón, Spain, from 28 April to 5 May 2025. Bringing together participants from Turkey, Spain, Hungary, Poland, and Iceland, the initiative provided a rich setting for exploring climate change, sustainable food systems, organic agriculture, and healthy living through innovative non-formal learning activities.


Collaborative games and practical workshops enabled participants to consolidate their knowledge of sustainability while strengthening teamwork and communication skills. Through a dynamic word-search challenge and daily cycling sessions, they transformed key concepts into memorable experiences and recognized the value of environmentally friendly mobility for both personal well-being and climate action.


Thematic sessions on permaculture introduced participants to principles of caring for the Earth, supporting human needs, and sharing resources responsibly. These discussions deepened their understanding of regenerative food systems and inspired them to consider how sustainable practices can be integrated into everyday life and community initiatives.


Hands-on creative activities further demonstrated the potential of recycling and ecological thinking. By transforming waste paper into sculptures and engaging in simulations that illustrated the fragility of natural ecosystems, participants experienced firsthand the importance of adaptation, biodiversity, and responsible stewardship of the environment.


Intercultural exchange and reflective evaluation completed the learning journey.

Presentations of agricultural traditions, local foods, dances, and languages from the participating countries fostered mutual understanding and solidarity, while structured reflection helped participants identify the knowledge and values they will carry forward in promoting sustainable agriculture and safe food within their own communities.


We are proud to announce that Green Behavior Youth Organization has been awarded Erasmus+ funding in the 2025 first application round for an exciting new youth exchange project:


Project Title: Roots and the Future: Environmental Sustainability through Archaeobotany

Project Reference: 2025-1-IS01-KA152-YOU-000297094

Project Type: Erasmus+ KA152 Youth Exchange


This project marks a new milestone in our efforts to engage youth in environmental sustainability and intercultural dialogue through creative, science-based learning.


“Roots and the Future” focuses on archaeobotany—the study of ancient plant remains—to explore how early societies interacted with nature, cultivated ecosystems, and adapted to environmental changes. Through this lens, young participants will reflect on how the past can guide present and future actions for sustainability.


We are excited to bring together enthusiastic young participants and youth workers from the following countries:


  • 🇮🇸 Iceland 

  • 🇹🇷 Türkiye

  • 🇭🇷 Croatia

  • 🇬🇪 Georgia

  • 🇺🇦 Ukraine


This diverse international team will come together in Iceland to explore the intersection of history, environment, and innovation—while also experiencing rich intercultural exchange and building lifelong connections.


Stay tuned for more updates as we prepare to welcome our partners and participants!


Let’s explore our roots and grow the future—together. 🌍
