Pula Youth Centre participates in the realization of an international professional visit in the field of outdoor education, hosting ten students and experts for preschool education from Serbia.
This is a study visit aimed at getting acquainted with examples of good practice in the field of forest pedagogy, with a special focus on the work of the “Forest Children” initiative at Veli Vrh in Pula. Participants will spend some of their time with children in nature through observation and participation in work, while the educational and workshop part of the program will take place in Pula Youth Centre, from 24th to 27th February 2026.
During the meeting, the Centre will be a place of exchange of experiences, joint learning and networking of young experts from the region. As part of the program, it is planned to meet with members of Model Forest Istria, with the aim of getting to know their experiences in the field of forest pedagogy and sustainable action in the local community.
“For Pula Youth Centres, such collaborations are extremely important because they confirm our role as a space that connects young people, ideas and experts from different backgrounds. We are pleased that we can be a place of meeting and exchange of knowledge and contribute to the development of quality and sustainable educational practices”, said Danijela Panić, Head of Pula Youth Centre.
International mobility is realized within the project INNEST Introduction to Nature Education for Sustainable Transformation, implemented by Ama Centar association from Pirot, with financial support of the Erasmus+ programme of the European Union.
The Pula Youth Centre continues to encourage international cooperation, knowledge exchange and the creation of space for the development of new educational and social initiatives.
