These associations have been collaborating within the project Be Well – Increasing Quality in Youth Work by Fostering Wellbeing for Youth Workers, 2024-2-RO01-KA220-YOU- 000284804 and exploring which practices contribute to youth workers’ well-being and prevention of burnout, as well as what issues and obstacles the youth workers consider the most challenging.
