🌍 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?
An online workshop for youth workers to design safe, inclusive outdoor learning journeys. Using visual “island–storm–harbour” maps, participants turn real group needs into structured outdoor games, reflection walks and community‑based challenges.
🏘️ 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
This online workshop is designed for youth workers who already use games and activities with young people and want to upgrade them into well‑designed outdoor and experiential learning processes.
Instead of offering a random collection of icebreakers, the training focuses on how to:
turn real issues from youth work (group tension, low participation, stress, intercultural challenges) into outdoor and experiential activities
plan activities that are safe, inclusive and purposeful in very different local contexts – from small neighbourhood parks to busy city centres.
Participants work with a simple “learning journey” metaphor (island – wind – storms – harbour – legacy) to map what supports and what blocks them when they plan outdoor learning with young people. Building on this, they learn a step‑by‑step planning model:
- Define a clear learning focus (e.g. trust, communication, dealing with uncertainty, reconnecting with nature).
- Choose and analyse a real space they have access to (street, park, school yard, seaside, village square).
- Design an activity that uses this space as a co‑facilitator: routes, objects, landmarks and people become part of the game or challenge.
- Prepare guiding questions for briefing, risk assessment, inclusion (who might be left out and why), and debriefing.
The workshop mixes short inputs with practical design sprints in small groups. Participants leave with one concrete outdoor / experiential activity plan, ready to test with their group, plus a checklist for adapting it to different weather, group sizes and access needs.

Sapounofouska Events & More is a creative interdisciplinary team specialised in children’s parties, educational programmes, non-formal learning activities, and participatory events. The team brings together educators, facilitators, artists, and creators of imaginative group experiences, with a strong focus on playful engagement, inclusion, creativity, and meaningful human interaction.
Its framework of activity combines STEAM education, educational robotics, theatrical play, music-and-movement activities, improv theatre, group dynamics, outdoor experiences, educational games, creative workshop design, and interactive festive elements such as bubble show-inspired experiences. The team designs activities for children, young people, educators, and communities, creating spaces where learning, expression, movement, and celebration can coexist in an organic and joyful way.
The educational methodology behind the event is informed by non-formal education, experiential learning, STEAM principles, and the 5E model, which supports a learning journey from curiosity and exploration to meaning-making, extension, and reflection. This makes the event suitable not only as a participatory experience, but also as a space for educational inspiration and practical learning design.
At the heart of the team’s philosophy is the belief that play, creativity, movement, imagination, collaboration, and embodied participation can create powerful conditions for learning and connection. Through its events and educational programmes, Sapounofouska seeks to build experiences that are lively, inclusive, memorable, and grounded in the idea that learning can be both meaningful and joyful.
