🇭🇺 Erasmus+ Training Course in Hungary 🎨 Art-Based Self-Care & Wellbeing in Youth Work 🇭🇺

🌍 Introduction

This is not just about learning methods, it’s about understanding how you function as a youth worker. Burnout, emotional load, responsibility… these are real parts of the field, and most trainings ignore them. This one doesn’t. It focuses directly on self-care through creative processes and how you bring that into your work without turning it into something superficial.
