1. “All in” - A seminar for youth workers on strengthening
democratic values and attitudes in local communities, 19 – 24 October 2026

Call for three facilitators

The SALTO South East Europe Resource Centre (SALTO SEE), together with Jugend für Europa (the German National Agency for the Erasmus+ Programme and European Solidarity Corps) and the SALTO Eastern Europe and Caucasus Resource Centre (SALTO EECA), is looking for three facilitators to design and implement the programme of activities for the seminar: “All in” for youth workers on strengthening democratic values and attitudes in local communities. 

The seminar “All In” builds on the observation that democratic values across Europe are increasingly being challenged, reshaped, or gradually eroded, while digital environments and political discourse often contribute to growing polarisation. In this context, youth work finds itself at a crossroads: on one hand, it is recognised as socially and politically relevant, yet often encouraged to focus on “neutral” life skills rather than engage with political realities.

The seminar seeks to explore key questions such as: How can youth work operate effectively in politicised and polarised environments? Is depoliticisation a viable approach? How can youth workers navigate risks and responsibilities while actively contributing to democratic societies?

The call for three facilitators with more information about the framework and the facilitators' profile (with a link to the online application form) is available here.

Application deadline: 27 April 2026.
