💡 About the Project
Healthy Boundaries, Healthy Youth Work is an Erasmus+ Training Course focused on strengthening youth workers’ personal resilience and professional competences in the field of mental health and well-being. This 4-day capacity-building activity adopts a holistic, experiential, and practice-oriented approach, combining non-formal education methods, mindfulness-based exercises, reflective practices, peer learning, and skills-based workshops. The training responds to the increasing emotional and psychological pressures faced by youth workers in complex and fast-changing environments. It supports participants in understanding how their personal well-being directly influences the quality, inclusiveness, and democratic impact of their youth work. Through intercultural collaboration and exchange of good practices, participants will co-create strategies that promote sustainable, empathetic, and resilient youth work practices.
🎯 Objectives
- Develop practical skills in mindfulness and stress management for demanding youth work contexts.
- Increase awareness of personal values, motivations, and limits in professional practice.
- Strengthen competences in setting and maintaining healthy boundaries.

👥 Target Group
- Youth workers, youth leaders, social workers (volunteers or employed staff)
- Age: 18+
- Good level of English
- Motivated to reflect deeply and actively engage in experiential learning
