ADEL Slovakia's Erasmus+ training course equips youth workers with competences to use movement, embodiment, dramatherapy and contact-based practices intentionally, safely and meaningfully in their work with young people. The training runs 22-31 January 2027 in Zajeลพovรก, Slovakia, with 24 participants from Italy, North Macedonia, Romania, Slovakia, Spain and Ukraine. The organiser asks for a 50โฌ non-refundable participation fee from selected participants; according to ADEL Slovakia, this ensures participant commitment and directly enhances activity quality, and the project does not aim to generate profit. Participants with fewer opportunities are exempt. Accommodation (3 meals per day, all vegetarian) is covered under Erasmus+.
๐ก Note from youthworker_eu: a participation fee like this is usually a contribution the organisation asks for its own institutional capacity, not a cost of the programme. It is never paid at application, only by selected participants, and in many cases it can be negotiated or even waived by the organisation. If an organisation asks you to pay at the application stage, report it to the National Agency or the European Commission and let us know, so we can report it too.
