โน๏ธ Description About The Opportunity
U in Verse is an international training course for youth workers, educators, facilitators, social workers and people interested in supporting the wellbeing and personal development of young people.
Taking place in the ecovillage Oasis des รges in France, the training offers an experiential learning journey exploring mindfulness, embodiment, nature connection, creativity and play as tools for personal growth and youth work practice.

Objectives:
โข To explore mindfulness and awareness-based practices that support presence, observation, listening and conscious response.
โข To develop resilience, emotional regulation and wellbeing through embodied and experiential approaches.
โข To rediscover creativity, curiosity and playfulness as essential elements of learning, connection and youth work.
