BSDA will coordinate You And the Mount YATM project
26.05.2020
The development of tourism and mountain sports is becoming more and more popular. The name "You And the Mount /YATM/" was chosen because we want to show what the relationship between the people and the mountain is. With the project, we encourage young people to continue to look for sustainable tourism and sport, yet we want to show them that unwise behaviour in the mountain sometimes leads to serious consequences. By gathering young people, we aim to teach them basic skills that are essential for practicing tourism and sports in the mountains. They will advance skills that will be useful not only in the mountains, but also in their everyday lives. Through all the activities we have planned, they will be taken out of a comfort zone, they will have to solve cases they would encounter in the mountains, but these skills would also be useful in their everyday lives.
The main goals we are pursuing with the implementation of this project are:

Partner organizations will select young people who are publicly involved and want to share their experiences with their societies.
During the YE project, young people will have the opportunity to understand:
