โน๏ธ Description About The Opportunity
Join youth workers, educators, trainers, and peacebuilding practitioners from across Europe and beyond for the online final conference of our Erasmus+ KA2 project dedicated to the development of the nonviolent debate approach with young people affected by conflict and war.
In a time when young people are increasingly exposed to polarization, displacement, trauma, and the consequences of armed conflict, youth work has a crucial role to play in creating safe spaces for dialogue, understanding, and constructive engagement.
During this online event, we will present the project's training curriculum on Nonviolent Debate Methodology, a practical resource developed to support youth workers in facilitating meaningful discussions, managing disagreements constructively, and empowering young people to become active agents of peace within their communities.
Date and time: 20 July, 10:00-12:00 CET.

๏ปฟ๐ How every Erasmus+ group chat starts vs. how it ends โ a journey in messages.

This article captures the evolution of every Erasmus+ group dynamic with humour and honesty โ and if you haven't experienced it yet, consider this your preview of what's coming. ๐ https://youthworkshub.org/15112/
๐ The real story behind every Erasmus+ and ESC journey โ what happens before, during, and after.Every Erasmus+ and ESC project has an official timeline: application, preparation, mobility, evaluation. But the real story is much richer than that. This article takes you through what genuinely happens at each stage of a project's life โ the doubts, the breakthroughs, the unexpected friendships, and the quiet moments that change everything. A deeply human look at what these programmes mean beyond the paperwork. ๐ https://youthworkshub.org/15180/

This guide gives you the specific red flags to watch for, the verification steps you should always take, and the key differences between genuine EU-funded projects and imitations.
