Methods Matter
Training Course
26 May - 1 June 2026 | Pinos Genil (Granada), Spain
Methods Matter is a training course designed as a practical and focused learning space for newcomers’ youth leaders and youth workers who want to explore and strengthen their understanding of methodologies used in Erasmus+ Youth Exchanges.
The training will specifically focus on methodologies and facilitation approaches used during Youth Exchanges. It will not address other key aspects of project management such as application writing, budgeting, administration or reporting. Instead, the course concentrates on what happens within the activity itself: how to design and deliver meaningful learning experiences for young people.
Through non-formal education methods, participants will discover, test and analyse practical tools that support participation, intercultural learning, group dynamics and reflection. The course aims to provide concrete, adaptable methodologies that youth leaders can confidently apply in their own projects.
Special attention will be given to the role of youth leaders as facilitators of learning processes, their capacity to manage diverse groups, and their responsibility in creating inclusive, respectful and engaging environments.
While the course is accessible to participants with little or no prior experience, it is also open to those with some background who wish to deepen and refine their practices.
Objectives:
- - To explore and understand key methodologies used in Erasmus+ Youth Exchanges.
- - To strengthen facilitation competences and group management skills.
- - To provide practical, ready-to-use non-formal education tools.
- - To develop skills to foster participation, reflection and intercultural learning.

💑 The first Erasmus couple and the first Erasmus baby — a love story that started in 1987. When the Erasmus programme launched in 1987, no one predicted that it would also become one of Europe's most unexpected matchmakers. This is the story of the very first couple who met through Erasmus — and the child who became the first true "Erasmus baby." It's a charming, moving reminder that behind every programme statistic are real human stories, real connections, and real lives transformed.
