EaT SNAC Study Lab on Curriculum Design in Youth Work Education and Training

The Study Lab is an activity format that integrates exploratory and reflective elements to support trainers and educators involved in the education and training of youth workers. It aims to inspire participants, encourage reflection on current processes and practices, and contribute to the development of quality youth work education and training.

Preparation and follow-up activities, extending beyond the residential meeting itself, are integral parts of the process. The Study Lab will bring together a small group of approximately 12–16 participants, plus facilitators, creating a learning environment that encourages deep dialogue and peer learning.

The Study Lab format emphasises collaborative reflection rather than formal presentations, creating space for participants to explore questions emerging from their own professional practice.

The Study Lab is designed for experienced professionals involved in youth work education and training. Participants should meet most of the following criteria:
● You are involved in education or training of youth workers as a lecturer, professor, trainer or educator.
● You have experience in designing training programmes, learning pathways or educational curricula.
● You contribute to developing education and training strategies in youth work at organisational, national or international level.
● You are interested in reflecting on the principles and practices of curriculum development.
● You are willing to engage in critical reflection on your own professional practice.
● You are motivated to contribute to the development of quality youth work education and training in Europe.

This Study Lab is not intended for beginners in youth work training or education.
