🇭🇺 Erasmus+ Training Course in Hungary 🎮 Play-Learn-Recharge: Games, Youth Work Tools and Burnout Prevention 🌱

Youth workers give a lot. Sometimes too much. Play-Learn-Recharge is an Erasmus+ training course in Hungary that addresses two things at once: building a stronger practical toolbox for working with young people, and taking care of the mental wellbeing of the people who do that work every day. If you want to return to your organisation with new games, fresh methods, and a clearer sense of how to sustain yourself in youth work — this is the training for you.

🎯 About the Training Course

Organised by Tudatos Ifjúságért Alapítvány, Play-Learn-Recharge creates a supportive international learning spacefor 18 youth workers, volunteers, and youth leaders to exchange effective tools — especially games and gamified methods — while also addressing the real challenge of stress, overload, and burnout in the sector. The approach is peer-to-peer: participants bring what already works in their organisations and share it with others.
