Bullying remains one of the most persistent challenges in youth work across Europe — and many educators still lack practical, engaging tools to address it effectively. This online conference brings together youth workers and educators to discover storytelling and gamified methods that actually work in non-formal education settings.
Asociación PROMESAS is organising a free online conference as part of the Erasmus+ KA2 project "Rewriting the Story: Empowering Youth Against Bullying". The event takes place on 26 May 2026 at 17:00 CET via Google Meet and is open to 60 participants from across Europe and beyond.
What Is This Conference About?
The conference introduces participants to storytelling and gamified approaches as powerful tools for bullying prevention in youth work. Participants will explore how to create safe, engaging learning environments where young people can reflect on their experiences, develop empathy, and build key social competences including communication, assertiveness, and conflict resolution.
