Our Mission We aim to bring youth joy through sports and social activities. We assist youth in restoring their emotional well-being, finding new friends, and learning how to tackle life's challenges.   Our goal is to promote the socialisation, development, and awareness of youth who have experienced occupation, children affected by the conflict, or youth who have lost their parents regarding mine safety, gender equality, and tolerance through football and informal education.   Objectives: - Create conditions for socialization and give youth essential skills to develop positive life prospects and find their place in society. - Increase girls' participation in football, ensuring that every girl has equal rights in her community. - Create conditions for community cohesion after occupation, integrate conflict-affected individuals into new communities, and resolve conflicts through dialogue.      What do we do? - We offer a unique format of football training where youth not only engage in sports but also acquire valuable knowledge about handling landmines, volunteer work, human rights, and combating discrimination. - We provide psychological support to parents and children in liberated cities.   Over the past 14 months, more than 300 children in Bucha and Irpin have participated in our organization's training sessions. Additionally, over 350 parents have received psychological assistance and participated in community-building festivals to integrate IDPs and locals who suffered during the occupation. This initiative was created to do everything possible to help children overcome the psychological traumas they experienced during the horrors of war.  Our organization does not conduct ordinary tournaments and training sessions. We aim to achieve social changes, increase youth's civic engagement, and strengthen youth and children's psychological resilience through football. In addition to psychosocial training for youth and children, we conduct educational lectures on ecological activism in Bucha for youth, volunteering, and handling explosive objects. We organize educational trips for youth to local volunteer movements involved in protecting homeless animals, ecology, and developing civil society to spread the culture of volunteering. Our psychosocial sports events also consist of two parts - the sporting one with elements of football and the second educational part, where participants communicate or listen to training on civic participation, volunteering, ecology, and rules for handling explosive objects.

Second Tree is a community-led, volunteer-run, grassroots NGO working with refugees in the Epirus region, Northern Greece. We have a team of 20 people on the ground, including qualified volunteers from the European Solidarity Corps (ESC) of the European Commission. Our mission is to change the way refugees are perceived by modeling an approach to community engagement that strengthens agency and enables each individual to reach their true potential. We aim to improve the lives of refugees by creating a society where they are seen as unique human beings first and foremost – with their own history, skills, interests and needs – and not just as bearers of a ‘refugee’ identity. Through our projects, we give refugees the opportunity to develop communication skills in a social environment where they can regain their agency and build a new life in Europe. We currently run three main projects targeted to young people – the Youth Wellbeing project, the YouShaped project and the Adult Education project. These projects provide educational and integration activities in the city of Ioannina, and in the camps of Katsikas and Agia Eleni, reaching 3,000 people every week, both refugees and locals. All projects are led by volunteers between the ages of 20–30. Our Youth Wellbeing Project provides 65 children aged 8-16 with a space to develop a sense of belonging and key social, emotional and cognitive skills that facilitate their integration socially and academically. Modelled on the international Scouting movement, our project consists of different modules lasting 8 weeks each. While the topic and content of each module is shaped by the input of a group of rotating volunteers (e.g. Geography, Greek Culture, Mindfulness etc.), the core activities stay the same: weekly English and Greek classes, workshops that reinforce learning outcomes in creative and interactive ways, and excursions that take children out of the camp and help them develop a sense of belonging and familiarity with their new community. Our YouShaped project provides 12 children aged 13-16 with a class that increases student’s self-confidence and public speaking skills by debating and discussing self chosen topics in a group of peers. After completion, the young adults are encouraged to continue their education in our Adult Education classes. Our Adult Education Project is tailored to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) and offers students aged 15+ with the opportunity to gain literacy, practical language and communication skills in English and Greek, as well as prepare for official language certification that strengthens their socio-economic integration. Over half of the 81 students that are enrolled in our Adult Education Project are aged 15–30. The combination of these three projects supports young students in their transition into adulthood by developing the knowledge and the social, emotional and cognitive skills they need to become active European citizens.
