The first edition of the project was a success both at partner organizations, especially in terms of tangible results and learning outcomes for the participants. These, during the the follow up session identified the need for a new project, to continue the mission to promote biodiversity among young people, as a starting point for understanding cultural diversity. Together with partners, we decided to value the good practice developed in the first edition and to develop a new edition of the project, which in addition to the inclusive nature of the Junior Ranger camps and their role in promoting biodiversitării, to consider and promote a healthy lifestyle among the young people through activities in nature in order to disconnect them from the virtual world.Among young people there is a little involvement in resolving environmental problems, due to a low presence of a“green” culture among them. Developing a "green" culture among youth implies a permanent involvement of them in environmental activities, a constantly contact with the Nature, to educate and involve them in finding solutions to local environmental problems. This requires knowledge and skills to be formed and consolidated in a learning environment as JRC camps.The project aims to:To promote a healthy lifestyle among young people, the importance of biodiversity and the role that we have in order to protect the environment;To develop environmental attitudes and green skills among participants;To create awareness through participants related to importance of a healthy lifestyle based on a balance between outdoor activities and using modern technology;To develop creativity, initiative and transversal skills among participants;To facilitate the development of space required for development of 10 visual tools to promote the importance of protecting biodiversity and the environment.

The main activity of the project is a youth exchange with participants from Erasmus + partner countries, which will be held in the locality Slănic Moldova, Bacau county, in the period 2-12 September 2016, on topics such as promoting biodiversity, healthy lifestyles, developing and promoting an environmental culture and an ecological behaviour among youth, using non-formal education methods (as Photovoice, Graphical facilitation, Shadow theatre, etc.), Classic methods (as group work, debate, etc.) creative methods (handmade, ikebana), Reflexive and evaluation methods, but also Junior Ranger type methods.Tangible results: a visual tool to promote the biodiversity and a healthy lifestyle among young people.
