The implementation period of the „GO IN NATURE” project as the part of the Interreg V-A Slovenia–Hungary Cooperation Programme takes place from 1st March 2017 to 29th February 2020. The leading partner of the project is the Municipality Government of the town of Muraszombat, project partner from Slovenia is the Pomurje Scout Association, from Hungary they are the Municipality Government of the village of Csesztreg, the Holnapocska Közhasznú Nonprofit Kft. (Holnapocska Non-profit LLC) and the Zalaerdő PLtd. The project elements of „GO IN NATURE” will contribute to strengthening cross-border cooperation, to the eco-touristic development of the region and to approach- affection as well.
Regarding the Holnapocska Public Benefit Non-profit Kft., within the “GO IN NATURE” program Developments are realised on several platforms, and these developments will help to improve the quality of the already existing free camps. The equipment purchases carried out during the project enable the playful learning during the experience therapy camps with the establishment of an interactive learning environment. For educational excursions, there are a set of program packages and worksheets extending the knowledge of children, with the help of which children can get familiarized with the natural environment surrounding the camp, with the flora, fauna and the treasures of the Kis-Balaton, and guides them to the scene of the Hungarian youth novel, whose title is 'Tüskevár'.
The Holnapocska Public Benefit Non-profit Kft. promotes the developments, being realised within the 'GO IN NATURE' program, on online surfaces: on its own available websites, social media sites owned with project partners, in regional and national newspapers, tourism portals, radio shows, and exhibitions, domestic and Slovenian exhibitions. They hold a free presentation within the framework of a public day called "Mosolykert" in the campsite three times. Within the framework of the program, there will be four 6-day unpaid children's camps with the participation of 50 Slovenian and Hungarian children per camp, with full board and programs.
