Project content:

RESONATE is a Horizon Europe project that brings together a consortium of world leaders in nature-based therapy (NbT) research, practice, policy, and innovation with stakeholders in the health, environmental, economic, and societal sectors.

The project RESONATE aims to:
a) Collect more proof that shows how nature can improve our health and well-being, by demonstrating how nature helps us physically, mentally, and socially.
b) Show how people from different sectors can work together to make nature-based therapies that are suitable for everyone.
c) Make more people, including the public and policymakers, aware of these benefits and make them more accepted.
d) Encourage more use of low-cost nature-based therapies to help make individuals and communities stronger in cities, towns, and coastal areas.

The Resonate project is funded by the European Union's Horizons Europe research and innovation program under grant agreement no. 101081420 and co-funded by the UK research and innovation grant no. 10063874.
