🇮🇹 Erasmus+ Training Course in Italy 🌱 Eco-Anxiety & Youth Work Research Opportunity

Eco-anxiety is becoming one of the most urgent yet underexplored challenges among young people — especially young migrants. This Erasmus+ partnership-building activity offers youth workers a unique chance not just to learn, but to actively contribute to research shaping future youth work practices in Europe.

This is not a typical training. Instead of workshops, you will take part in a structured, in-depth online interview where your real field experience becomes the core input. Your insights will directly influence new tools, training programmes, and publications on youth mental well-being and environmental challenges.
