FECE is looking for 4 participants (18-25) and 1 group leader (18+) from Bulgaria to join the upcoming youth exchange Into the Wild that will take place between 16–23 September (with travel days included) 2026 in Badacsony, Hungary.
Please note that the core theme of the project is outdoor activities and hiking in the Balaton Uplands. Therefore, it is important to apply only if you are comfortable spending most of the day outdoors and physically able to participate in several hiking activities throughout the week.
The project aims to:
- Boost your mental resilience and wellbeing. Learn to manage stress and find your inner balance using practical, nature-based tools such as guided mindfulness, reflection circles, and personal journaling
- Turn sustainability into a lived practice. Explore ecological awareness by integrating low-impact, green habits into your daily routine while exploring the unique volcanic landscape of Badacsony.
- Build a supportive international community. Work together with young people from 5 different countries to foster inclusion, empathy, and solidarity, creating lasting European connections in the heart of the Balaton Uplands.
The project will be joined by 25 participants from Hungary, Bulgaria, Poland, Italy and Germany.
Please note that Bulgarian participants are strongly recommended to travel with green transport (bus, train, carpooling).
