International projects KA1

The purpose of the training course was to provide youth workers with a transformative, experiential learning journey based on the Hero’s Journey methodology. Through this immersive process, participants explored how to address intercultural, intergenerational, and social divides while developing inclusive, creative, and community-rooted youth projects.

The purpose of the training course was to explore the depths and dimensions of communication and harmonious relationships between people and communities. Participants explored communication, behavior types, assertiveness, conflict resolution, creativity, community building, and accepting diversity, and learned many new methods and tools that they will be able to transfer to their youth work.

The aim of the training course was to present digital tools that can support youth work and to explore ways of transferring traditional youth work practices to the digital environment. Special attention was paid to the impact of digital environments (with an emphasis on social networks) on well-being and mental health.

The aim of the training course was to familiarize youth workers, educators, and other professionals working with young people with the basics of graphic facilitation and the use of visual techniques as a support for learning. Participants learned the basics of typography, color use, and shading rules. The activity was based on creating a space for exchanging ideas, encouraging creativity, and accepting mistakes. Participants developed their visual vocabulary by collecting various ideas for simple illustrations from different thematic areas (e.g., nature, school, figures, etc.) and learned how to transform complex information into images.

The main purpose of the youth exchange was to encourage creativity and artistic talent among participants through various types of performances, ranging from dance and singing to theater, improvisation, and storytelling.

Participants used methods and techniques from theater, improvisation, stand-up comedy, music, dance, storytelling, and public speaking to explore topics such as communication, relationships, and group leadership and management.

The training course was focused on well-being. Participants explored emotions, mental health, relaxation techniques, and preventing mental health problems. They shared personal stories, got creative, learned about art therapy, and relaxed with meditation and sound baths.

The training course focused on learning the basics of improvisation and encouraged participants to think about how these can support us in facing everyday challenges. We explored the importance of clear communication, being present in the moment, curiosity, acceptance and adaptation, cooperation and co-creation, generosity, accepting mistakes, and the importance of playfulness. Through activities, we had the opportunity to strengthen our creativity and self-confidence and awaken the child within us.

During the training course, we learned about various social games that strengthen communication, connection, trust, and cooperation, and discussed ways to incorporate them as tools into non-formal education and youth work activities.

The purpose of the youth exchange was to address important topics such as accepting diversity, mental health, youth distress, etc. through informal learning, and to support young people in caring for their mental and physical health. The processes were also supported by outdoor activities, where we took care of the body and spirit, but above all, there was a lot of laughter and exchange of experiences between participants from different organizations.

During the training course, we discussed the power of play and learned about various social games which, unlike competitions, focus on the dynamics between participants and the relationships, both personal and interpersonal, that are created during the game and discussed afterwards. We learned about games that strengthen communication, cooperation, and trust, address intercultural differences and discrimination, and explored group dynamics and the roles we take on in a group.

The main purpose of the training course was to accept our own mistakes and those of others. We learned that mistakes are a part of life and that they can be a great learning opportunity if we just allow ourselves to see them in that light. We explored them using various techniques from improvisational theater, improvisational poetry, and music creation.
