During the weekend of 13th and 14th June 2022, we met in the Naturefriends office in Berlin to officially launch the Strategic Partnership «Greening International Youth Work».
The members of this project are:
- Naturfreunde Jugend (project promoter)
- Association Sénégalaise des Amis de la Nature (ASAN) (partner)
- International Young Naturefriends (IYNF) (partner)
- Gruppo Italiano Amici della Natura (G.I.A.N.) (partner)
and, of course, Biodiversa!
From left to right: Mamadou Mbodji (from ASAN and Vicepresident of Naturefriends International), Aykut and Sina Franz (from Naturefreunde Jugend), Francesco Mangiarini (from IYNF) and Esther Vallado (from Biodiversa).
Pari joined us online, representing our Italian partner.
During the meeting we got to know each other better, we shared our expectations, wishes and fears for this joint venture, we came to communication agreements, reviewed the project timeline, planned the next steps, and enjoyed some leisure time together in the evenings.
It was a productive and joyful start to this exciting long-term project, which we believe will produce outcomes which will be widely used by the international youth work community from 2023 onwards.
