🇱🇹 Erasmus+ Training Course in Lithuania 🎓 Learning Out Loud 🌍 Youth Work and Learning Recognition, SALTO 🇱🇹
Are you a youth worker, youth leader, mentor, or coach who believes in the learning potential of youth work — and wants to better support young people in recognising, reflecting on, and expressing what they learn? Learning Out Loud is an Erasmus+ Training Course organised by SALTO Training and Cooperation Resource Centre and the Lithuanian National Agency, designed to develop youth workers’ competences in facilitating and recognising learning in youth work settings. Based on the Youthpass concept, the course combines a residential activity in Lithuania with pre- and post-course online sessions and individual micro-activities — offering a full learning journey rather than a single event. Accommodation and food covered by the Lithuanian NA. Travel reimbursement available through your National Agency or SALTO. Deadline: 19 April 2026.
🇱🇹 Did You Know? Lithuania has one of the most active National Agencies for Erasmus+ Youth in Europe — regularly organising and co-hosting international training courses, seminars, and study visits for youth workers across the continent. The country’s youth sector has grown rapidly since EU accession in 2004 and is now deeply integrated into European non-formal education networks. The Lithuanian landscape — with its forests, lakes, and Baltic coastal scenery — also makes it one of the most atmospheric locations in Europe for a residential training course.
What Will You Do?
🗣️Discuss and exchange practices on the learning potential of youth work — exploring how and what young people actually learn through youth activities
🔍Explore what supporting learning means in the role of a youth worker — and how to intentionally build reflection and recognition into your practice
🛠️Practice concrete tools that support young people’s learning process in youth work activities — taking these tools back into your own work context
📝Learn practical approaches to formulating and documenting learning outcomes — so that young people’s learning becomes visible to themselves and to others
🎓Deepen your understanding of the Youthpass concept as a process for supporting reflective learning in youth projects — not just a certificate, but a pedagogical tool
💻Participate in pre-course and post-course online group meetings — extending the learning beyond the residential days and embedding it in your ongoing practice
💡 Did You Know? Youthpass is an official European Commission tool that allows participants in Erasmus+ and European Solidarity Corps projects to document and describe their learning outcomes and competence development. Originally introduced in 2007, it is now used by hundreds of thousands of young people and youth workers across Europe each year — and is increasingly recognised by employers, universities, and institutions as evidence of non-formal learning. This training course is specifically designed to help youth workers use Youthpass not just as a document, but as a genuine learning facilitation process.
