🇪🇸 Erasmus+ Training Course in Spain 👶 Youth Mobility Leaders 🌍 Inclusive Youth Exchanges with Under-18 Participants, Salinas/Asturias 🇪🇸
Are you a youth worker aged 21 or over who works — or plans to work — as a group leader in Erasmus+ Youth Exchanges involving participants under 18, including young people with fewer opportunities or in highly vulnerable situations? Youth Mobility Leaders is an Erasmus+ Training Course in Salinas, Asturias, Spain — organised by Ye Too Ponese — built entirely around the practical, ethical, and safety dimensions of accompanying young people in international youth mobility. You will explore your role and responsibilities as a group leader, develop inclusion strategies, learn crisis and risk management tools, and build your capacity to create safer learning spaces. 100% funded. No participation fee. Accommodation, food, and travel covered. Deadline: 25 March 2026.
🇪🇸 Did You Know? Salinas is a small coastal town in the Asturias region of northern Spain — one of the greenest and most scenically dramatic parts of the Iberian Peninsula. Asturias is known for its rugged Atlantic coastline, ancient forests, and the Picos de Europa mountain range. It is also the only region of Spain that was never conquered by the Moors — giving it a unique historical and cultural identity. Salinas Surf Camp, where the training takes place, sits right on the coast, offering an exceptional natural environment for a residential learning experience.
What Will You Learn and Do?
🏛️Understand the role and responsibilities of group leaders in Erasmus+ youth mobility projects — exploring the ethical, practical, and legal dimensions of accompanying young people under 18 internationally
♿Reflect on inclusion and diversity and develop concrete strategies to support participants with fewer opportunities — including highly vulnerable young people — before, during, and after a youth exchange
🛡️Try out practical tools and methods for creating safer learning spaces — including basic risk awareness and crisis management approaches relevant to youth mobility settings
🎭Work through concrete scenarios that group leaders may face during youth exchanges — experiential, practice-based learning that goes beyond theory
🔄Engage in group reflection and peer learning based on participants' real experiences — building on what you already know and learning from others in the room
🗺️Plan how your learning can be transferred back into future youth exchanges within your own organisation — leaving with a concrete application strategy, not just knowledge
💡 Did You Know? The concept of "highly vulnerable young people" in Erasmus+ refers to participants who face compounded barriers — such as young people in care, those with serious mental health challenges, unaccompanied minors, or young people affected by trauma or extreme poverty. As Erasmus+ increasingly promotes the inclusion of these groups in international mobility, the demand for properly trained group leaders who understand safeguarding, crisis response, and inclusive facilitation has never been higher. This training directly addresses that gap.
