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 8-day Erasmus+ training course near Lisbon for youth workers who want to use video, visual storytelling and social media as tools for participation, inclusion and youth engagement. Practical, hands-on, smartphone-based.
🏘️ 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
Most people working with young people have never been trained in digital communication. The result is that excellent work on the ground stays invisible: activities that changed something for a young person never leave the room they happened in, and the organisations doing that work struggle to reach the very people they exist to serve.
AMPLIFY! is an Erasmus+ project that tackles this directly. It supports youth workers in using digital media confidently and ethically as tools for participation, inclusion and youth engagement. The project is built around two complementary international training courses: the first focused on podcasting and audio storytelling; this second one turns to video, visual communication and social media.
Over eight days in Portugal, participants learn how to turn youth work activities, local initiatives and community stories into content that works on today's platforms. The approach is entirely hands-on: participants film, edit and publish real material throughout the week, working in small international teams and finishing with a mini-campaign they plan and launch together.
Beyond the technical side, the course makes space to reflect on how digital media can be used ethically and creatively — how to represent young people with dignity, how to handle consent and visibility, and how to raise awareness of social issues without flattening them into content.

Participants come with mixed levels of digital experience on purpose — the more confident support the less confident, and everyone produces something by the end.
