🇪🇸 Erasmus+ Online E Learning by Spain 😴 Healthy Sleep and Well Being for Youth Work 🌙

Description

Free 15-hour online course in English for youth workers and trainers: learn to run engaging sessions on sleep, well-being and learning with young adults. Self-paced, with certificate. Erasmus+ SereniSleep project.

Tired participants don't learn. Rested ones thrive.

Young people and adults bring their nights into your activities: screens until 2 a.m., stress, shifts, irregular routines. Sleep shapes attention, memory, mood and motivation – everything youth work relies on. Yet it is rarely part of our toolbox.

SereniSleep Educator Companion is a free, self-paced online course that prepares youth workers, trainers and youth leaders to facilitate short, practical sessions on healthy sleep with young adults (18-30) and adult groups. It is the certified educator track of SereniSleep – Unlocking Deep Rest for a Healthier Tomorrow (Erasmus+ KA210-ADU, project no. 2025-1-BG01-KA210-ADU-000352792), a partnership between Moga Znam Tvoria (Bulgaria, coordinator), Kreativna stanica (Serbia) and ABARKA ONGD (Spain), built on a survey of 133 people in Bulgaria, Spain, Serbia and Moldova.

Why it fits youth work Non-formal, participant-centred methods Well-being as a condition for learning and participation Ready-to-use materials you can adapt for youth exchanges, training courses and local youth activities

What you will learn (5 units, approx. 15 hours) 1. Why sleep matters for learning and participation – the rationale of the method 2. Pedagogy: non-formal, practical and inclusive facilitation 3.
