NEETActive addresses some of the most pressing challenges affecting young NEETs today, including physical inactivity, social exclusion, and the growing need for environmental awareness and sustainable behaviours.
The project promotes an innovative approach that combines outdoor sports activities, such as football and orienteering, with non-formal environmental education methodologies. Through these activities, NEETActive seeks to encourage healthier lifestyles, improve well-being, and strengthen young people’s sense of belonging and active participation within their communities.
A central aspect of the project is the empowerment of youth workers through specialised training, innovative educational tools, and the exchange of best practices. By developing educational modules and an online toolkit, the project provides practical resources that help youth workers design inclusive and engaging activities capable of supporting NEETs in developing social skills, confidence, teamwork abilities, and environmental responsibility.
Through pilot activities and consortium-led implementation phases, NEETActive aims to create a lasting positive impact by fostering sustainable habits, social inclusion, and personal development among young people across Europe.
