🌿 About us and the project
“ReCalibur: Ecotools in youth work for collective creativity” is a long-term strategic partnership project which aims to explore youth work’s renewed role in fostering a shared sense of mutual belonging with the communities and the natural world by enhancing and strengthening resonating outer connection as forms of creative inspiration.

In the frame of ReCalibur, we produced a set of 26 methods described as video tutorials that can directly be applied by youth work practitioners in their work with young people, stemming from areas such as creativity, arts, storytelling, comedy, nature-based education, ecopsychology, gamification, non-formal education, coaching and more.
