The best ECO is Umberto Eco – Project Results

The Best ECO is Umberto ECO brought youth workers together in Alanya, Türkiye, from 15–23 April 2026 to explore meaning, curiosity and environmental learning. Their work formed the basis of a practical toolkit with seven activities and facilitation guidance for use with young people.

Nature Logbook

The Nature Logbook training course invited youth workers from six European countries to rediscover learning through nature and rethink how environmental education can inspire young people.

Take the eco side

The Take the ECO Side project was designed to empower youth workers to re-engage young people in environmental action by addressing the root causes of disengagement, such as eco-anxiety, repetition, and feelings of powerlessness.
