The project aims to contribute to SDG #4 by generating activities & knowledge needed to live in natural conditions like mathematics, intercultural communication, and teamwork, also by including creative & effective learning styles like storytelling, playing games, etc. Additionally, the project is aiming to teach participants about how to minimize the usage of technologies to connect with nature through becoming characters, for example, from mythology or legends, learning bushcraft & learning how to use what Mother Nature has given to us.
