Nature as Mentor: Rethinking Youth Work Through Ecological Connection

How can nature be a mirror, a mentor, and a medicine for young people? In this inspiring episode of Voices of Change, we meet Bogdan Romanița, a Romanian youth worker, facilitator, and educator who has spent the last 20 years weaving nature, wellbeing, and education into regenerative learning journeys. Bogdan’s experience spans youth-led projects in vulnerable communities, outdoor education, and international trainings. He is the founder of Dreams for Life. He brings a wealth of grounded tools, heartfelt stories, and practices that help youth connect deeply with themselves, each other, and the natural world.
