🌍 About the Training
“Empowering Youth Workers for Impact” is an Erasmus+ Training Course taking place in Madrid, Spain 🇪🇸 designed to strengthen the competences, professional recognition and strategic development of youth workers across Europe.
Youth workers today operate in multiple roles: mentor, facilitator, project manager, community builder and digital educator. Despite these responsibilities, structured professional pathways and competence recognition are often missing.
This training responds to that gap by offering a highly dynamic, non-formal learning programme based on the ETS Competence Model for Youth Workers.
Participants will:
✨ Map and analyse the different roles youth workers take on
✨ Identify key skills and competences required for each role
✨ Assess their own competences using the ETS framework
✨ Explore challenges and support needs in daily practice
✨ Design personalised professional development plans
✨ Build a strategic career path within the youth work ecosystem
By the end of the course, participants will leave with stronger competences, practical tools, and a clear professional growth strategy.
