โ๏ธWhat Is This Training About?
What if the body could speak where words fall short? A 5-day experiential training for everyone walking alongside young people with a migration background โ experimenting and getting equipped with body-based tools inspired by dance and art therapy.
๐๏ธ How Erasmus+ youth projects create lasting change in local communities. The impact of Erasmus+ goes far beyond the individuals who participate. Local communities, host organisations, and even entire neighbourhoods are shaped by the projects that take place within them. This article explores the broader social impact of Erasmus+ youth exchanges โ from building intercultural understanding to empowering grassroots organisations โ and makes a compelling case for why these projects matter beyond the personal level. ๐ https://youthworkshub.org/3595/
