The project “From Adventure to Employment (FATE)” supports European priorities on inclusion, youth employability, and quality youth work by empowering NEET young people through adventure and experiential education. The project uses outdoor and adventure-based learning, individual coaching, and peer support to strengthen young people’s self-development, mental well-being, and readiness for education or employment. At the same time, it builds the competences of youth workers by integrating innovative adventure education methods into everyday youth work practice. FATE actively involves marginalized young people as participants and co-creators, promotes inclusion in natural spaces, and fosters active citizenship across Europe.

- Enhancing self-development, self-esteem, and well-being of NEET young people through adventure education.
- Increasing young people’s readiness for further studies or employment.
- Developing and strengthening youth workers’ competences in adventure and experiential learning methods.
