🌐 Erasmus+ Online Training 🏙️ PST4Youth Training for Trainers: Youth Participation and Local Environments 🤝

Young people’s wellbeing is shaped by where they live — by the quality of their streets, parks, community spaces, and the degree to which they have any say in how those places develop. The Place Standard Tool for Youth (PST4Y) is a participatory tool designed to help young people explore exactly this connection — and Youth Network No Excuse Slovenia is offering a 3-day online Training for Trainers to equip professionals with the skills to use it in their own local contexts.

🎯 About the Training

The PST4Y Training for Trainers (T4T) is a practical, interactive online programme running over three consecutive mornings in June 2026. It is designed for youth workers, youth leaders, municipal representatives, and educators who want to support young people in exploring how their environments affect their wellbeing — and in contributing to local decision-making processes.

Each of the eligible countries has up to 8 available places: Spain, Germany, Latvia, the Netherlands, Slovenia, Serbia, and Italy.
