The International Young Nature Friends

During my four months E.V.S., I reached/joined/visited both the Duha office and its international level, I.Y.N.F., in Prague. These two organizations are intimately linked: they act in the same direction, they share some values and make activities to encourage young people’s self-development. But they have some specific needs, target groups and ways of working, which makes them different. Duha and the other national organizations spread out in European countries must have an upper level that can coordinate them: this is the role of I.Y.N.F.



Together, Duha and I.Y.N.F. organise Meet the Freak project. It is a totally surrealistic festival in which sixty young people from all around Europe live together for two weeks and improve their skills in various artistic areas (dance, DJ-ing, juggling, theatre, …). At the end of the camp, some performances workshops are proposed with the main idea of interacting with the local population. If you are full of positive energy and if you feel like developing your freaky ideas, Meet the Freak is for you!


Once you are a member of I.Y.N.F., you can take part in activities, in different areas such as art, outdoor or environment. You can choose to participate to the camps and if you feel like being more involved in I.Y.N.F. You can even join some leaders and organize a camp, build up your own idea and share your skills with young people. You will then get a great overview of the way some local organizations can act together.
