We are delighted to announce our participation in the GreenME project!
GreenME, is a ground breaking, Horizon Europe project, and an integrated multi-scalar approach for the expansion of Nature Based Interventions for enhancing mental health, wellbeing and socio-ecological benefits.
Over the next 4 years, GreenME aims to scale up the impact of #naturebasedtherapy within a comprehensive green care framework, paving the way for resilient and sustainable communities across Europe.
Kick-off!
In January 29th to 31st, 2024 we officially launched this ambitious initiative at the Kick-off meeting held in Barcelona. Hosted by the Open University of Catalunya (UOC) and coordinated by the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB). The event brought together over 60 consortium members, including esteemed Advisory Board members, and the European Commission’s project officer Patrizia Tenerelli.
One aim of the GreenME-project is to cultivate a more inclusive and impactful approach to mental health and well-being. As GreenME embarks on this transformative journey, the consortium is poised to drive forward cutting-edge research, innovation, and collaboration to advance the understanding and integration of nature-based interventions in mental healthcare.
