Hosting Organisation
Back to the Roots works to protect the environment through environmental education and the involvement of young people in their communities. They promote reconnection with nature, the recovery of traditions and the search for sustainable solutions to problems such as rural depopulation and the climate crisis.
They also develop European projects in artistic fields, such as the creation of a film with a soundtrack, theatre and expression projects, and musical expression activities. They firmly believe that art and music are tools for social transformation and a universal language to foster connection and change.
