🌍 Erasmus+ explained — the complete beginner's guide to Europe's largest youth programme.Millions of young people have taken part in Erasmus+ since its launch, but many still don't fully understand what the programme actually includes, who it's for, or how to get involved. This in-depth guide breaks down everything: the different types of mobility, funding opportunities, eligibility criteria, and what you can realistically expect from participating. If you've ever wondered whether Erasmus+ is right for you, this guide gives you all the answers in one place. 👉 https://youthworkshub.org/15096/
❗️What Is This Training About?
This training is for youth workers who don’t see themselves as creative but are curious to explore new ways of thinking, expressing, and working with young people. If you’re open to experimenting and rediscovering playfulness, this experience is for you.
🏘️ 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 — from building intercultural understanding to empowering grassroots organisations — and makes a compelling case for why these projects matter beyond the personal level. 👉 https://youthworkshub.org/3595/
ℹ️ Description About The Opportunity
During the course, you will learn the basics of how to lead and support learning in youth projects, with a focus on using creativity in your work.
Objectives of the training:
- To offer the space for participants to exchange their experiences, highlighting challenges in youth work
- To provide participants with tools and approaches to explore and develop their own creativity through hands-on and research-informed methods
- To enable participants to transfer and adapt these approaches into their work with youth.
- To create tangible tools fostering creativity for working with youth
- To offer the space for participants to discover their own creative potential and exchange practices and experiences with their peers from other countries, as an inspiration for improving their activities
- To work on the habit of practising creativity daily
- To promote creativity as a crucial skill in the context of the modern job market and employability
- To create a culture that fosters creativity in participating organisations
Applied methods of work:
In this course, we’ll be exploring creativity in a relaxed, supportive, and learner-centred environment, with no pressure and no judgment. Whether you think you're creative or not, you'll have space to reflect, experiment, and discover new ways of thinking.
After the training course, you will have a chance to practise the skills you have gained by organising and delivering a workshop for at least 10 youths in your country.
We invite you to come with an open heart and mind. During the training, we encourage experimentation, curiosity and mistakes without blame.
The training is based on non-formal education principles and combines methods such as storytelling, drama and theatre-based techniques, creative writing, visual and expressive arts, alongside reflection exercises, creative problem-solving, and self-directed project work, supported by research-informed theoretical inputs.
