The Youth Exchange ‘Learning from each other - games from environmental education' took place in September 2010 in Polish mountains and lasted 7 days. It involved 5 organisations from several European countries which work in the field of youth and environmental work, especially environmental education. The youth exchangewas joined by 24 participants from Spain, Portugal, Bulgaria, Czech Republic and Poland. They used the principle of ‘learning from each other' to exchange ideas, experience and best practices from environmental education through workshops prepared by each of the organisations taking part in the youth exchange.

"Forest - Welcome Home" was a TC organised by OA PTTK and YEE in Bieszczady National Park in south-eastern Poland. 25 participants (youth workers, trainers, facilitators, volunteers from environmental organisations) from countries throughout Europe, such as Czech Republic, Portugal, Spain, UK, Romania, Bulgaria, Latvia and Poland participated in educational workshops aiming to train and exchange knowledge and practice on working with children and youth on the topic of the forest ecosystem.

It will be focused on promoting high-quality youth events and training in the field of environmental education connected especially with the forest.

YEE decided to celebrate Week of the forest already for the third time with the action Tamdjem ("There we go" in Czech) - a voluntary weekend to help, improve and promote NGOs with noble aims organised by DUHA.

Some of the participants renovated a wooden path over the wetland in the area of the ecological center, while some of them helped to clean the orchard close to Toulcuv Dvur to make both of these places more attractive and comfortable for leisure time.
