🌍 About the Training
This Erasmus+ online training series explores how pop culture narratives can be used as tools in youth work to address social exclusion, polarization and critical thinking.
The programme invites youth workers, trainers, educators and professionals working with young people to participate in a 12-part webinar series designed to strengthen competences in inclusion, cultural intelligence, resilience and critical reflection.
Using well-known pop culture references such as Harry Potter, Wicked, Wednesday and Star Wars, participants will explore how modern storytelling can help young people understand power, identity, social conflict and positive change.
Each webinar is designed as a stand-alone session, but together they form a structured learning pathway across three thematic seasons.
