Wrapping Up YCampINLE

September 20, 2025

 

Final Meeting in Brussels, Network building and YCamp story

📅 16–18 September 2025 | Brussels, Belgium

Our partnership gathered in Brussels for the closing chapter of the YCampINLE project. It was a moment to look back on what we have accomplished, clarify the final details, and plan how to continue our cooperation in the future.

✅ Looking Back: What We Achieved

The meeting started with a comprehensive review of all results – from the toolkits and handbook to the training activities that brought youth workers closer to nature and digital innovation. Partners shared experiences and confirmed the positive impact the project has had on young people and youth work practices.

🤝 Looking Ahead

Even though the project is coming to an end, the energy in Brussels was about the future. Partners expressed a strong interest in continuing collaboration and further developing the YCampINLE model in new contexts and projects.

✨ The Brussels meeting was not just the conclusion of a project, but also the beginning of new opportunities to work together and keep empowering young people through meaningful experiences in nature.

Why Out of the Box International

The seemingly ever-lasting depression of European economies has shaken the very foundations of many European societies. The shear rate of unemployment in Europe and the omnipresent environmental crisis coupled with the often frustratingly slow process of decision making in the EU, are calling for civil society actors to step in and fill the void.

In the aftermath of the 2008. economic crisis, the apprehension of falling under the spell of apathy of economic depression across the continent has not been easy to shake off. However, pinpointing the culprits for the current state of affairs on any particular EU decision maker is not the answer. Nonetheless, the fact remains that the current approach to the economic and environmental crisis hasn’t yet shown the affected citizens the light at the end of the tunnel.

As representatives of the civil society we feel the need to make our voice heard in the midst of the current debate on economic crisis. Being a social enterprise we offer new and feasible ideas in education and community work, creative cross-sectorial cooperation among different actors and strong networking coalitions to turn these dire economic challenges into possibilities through social entrepreneurship initiatives which aim at benefiting wide range of citizens, particularly vulnerable groups and those affected by the economic crisis.

Social entrepreneurship is a simple concept that has been put into practice by civil society actors for the benefit of a specific social group or people, and this is precisely what we want: to create projects and initiatives with fresh ideas in different policies, educational programs or tools, support businesses, empower cultural initiatives and offer different solutions to individuals, corporate bodies, everybody who believe that we can have more Creative, Innovative and Cohesive Europe.
