Creative training for non-creative youth workers

In a safe and supportive space, we will use play, self-reflection, and group activities to discover new ideas and creative ways of learning. This will help you feel more confident and better support the young people you work with.

During the course, you will learn the basics of how to lead and support learning in youth projects, with a focus on using creativity in your work.

Objectives of the training:
- To offer the space for participants to exchange their experience, highlighting challenges in youth work
- To provide participants with different ways and tools to explore and work on own creativity and the knowledge of usage of those tools in their working contexts with youth
- To create tangible tools fostering creativity for working with youth
- To offer the space for participants to discover own creative potential and exchange practices and experiences with their peers from other countries as an inspiration for improving their activities
- To work on the habit of practising creativity daily (through one-month creativity challenge)
- To promote creativity as a crucial skill in the context of the modern job market and employability
- To create a culture that fosters creativity in participating organisations

Applied methods of work:

In this course, we’ll be exploring creativity in a relaxed, supportive, and learner-centred environment—no pressure, no judgment. Whether you think you're creative or not, you'll have space to reflect, experiment, and discover new ways of thinking.
After the training course, you will have a chance to practise the skills you have gained by organising and delivering a workshop for at least 10 youths in your country.
We invite you to come with an open heart and mind. During the training, we encourage experimentation, curiosity and mistakes without blame.
