WE Young People See Nature is an exchange project for 15 to 17-year-olds. They use cameras to learn how to observe nature. By looking at it from a different perspective, young people discover that nature is far from boring. The project has been running since 2006. Year after year, students learn not only to appreciate nature through the lens of a camera but also to appreciate each other, no matter how different they may be.

A project about nature and people never stands alone. Outdoors, you engage with biology, history, society, geography, and much more. Through conversation, you practise not only the common language of English but also how to connect with young people from entirely different backgrounds. Every evening, the photos must be presented, and even the most nervous participants manage to overcome their fear of presenting. The students help and support each other, with guidance from teachers and experts, of course.

The first introduction of the new group will take place on Texel, where students and teachers will spend almost a week immersed in the unique nature of the Wadden Islands. The expected results? Thousands of photos, new insights, and unlikely friendships. After this? A week in Poland, of course! That will be in June 2025.
