Creating Connections is a programme of nature activities for young people aged under 25 at the Eden Project. Activities enable teenagers and young adults to support their health and wellbeing by accessing green spaces and developing an understanding of and relationship with nature.
Starting in January 2024, we will be running a new photography course. It will help you to notice nature, connect with others and learn techniques for better images – unlocking the potential for connecting with nature using your phone.
This photography course runs for six sessions and is free of charge thanks to funding from Cornwall Community Fund. Booking is essential – please email natureconnections@edenproject.com or call 01726 818550.
Group sessions enable you to spend time with others and share what you notice in Eden’s iconic gardens. Just bring along your phone, camera or tablet to take images and our friendly facilitators will share their knowledge and give you activities to try.
“ Every bit of wildlife close up is so pretty and has so much detail. I feel inspired by nature. ”
“ I think it’s really important to be in nature. ”
Thanks to funding from the Cornwall Community Fund, we’re also able to provide bespoke programmes with other local organisations for young people who are experiencing or at risk of poor wellbeing and don’t have access to green spaces. Through nature-based activities like bushcraft, growing, foraging for food and crafts, or novel and wonderful experiences in Eden's Biomes, we’re supporting young people in rediscovering their relationship with nature. There are opportunities to reconnect and reignite their curiosity, to understand how nature can provide for them and what they can do for nature.
