Feel Good - Act Good

The "Feel Good - Act Good" training course continues and expands our focus on wellbeing, resilience, and sustainable action, based on the strong positive feedback and high demand following our previous Personal Sustainability training.

It provides tools and strategies to enhance participants' personal and professional resilience and well-being, enabling them to better sustain long-term effectiveness in youth work,

This course is part of the Erasmus+ accreditation programme implemented by Fahrten Ferne Abenteuer Abenteuerzentrum Berlin and its partners. 

 It offered across two connected project phases:

Youth Worker Training (09–19 February 2025)

Youth Exchange (09–19 March 2025)

(Youth workers who completed the training can take on a leadership role here, guiding participants and implementing methods and approaches developed during the Training)

OBJECTIVES

• Support Personal Wellbeing Awareness: The programme offers space for youth workers to reflect on their physical, emotional, and mental wellbeing as a foundation for meaningful and sustainable action.
• Foster Balance and Resilience: Mourning Groundings, Self-Care and Positive Psychology methods help strengthen inner stability and motivation.
• Encourage Conscious and Sustainable Action: Participants explore how daily choices affect ecological, social, and cultural systems, linking SDG’s and wellbeing with responsible action.
• Understand Interconnected Dimensions of Sustainability: The training highlights how wellbeing, social responsibility, ecological awareness, and community engagement influence one another.
• Provide Tools for Educational Practice: Practical methods support youth workers in designing activities that foster wellbeing and sustainable behaviour in young people.
• Broaden Intercultural and Societal Perspectives: International exchange exposes participants to diverse approaches to wellbeing and sustainability.
• Strengthen Teamwork and Community Building: Group tasks and reflection promote cooperation, shared responsibility, and supportive community dynamics.

The Feel Good - Act Good training primarily connects to the ETS competence fields of Facilitating Learning, Managing Resources, Designing Programs, and Networking and Advocating, with additional overlaps in Communicating Meaningfully and Being Civically Engaged. This makes it a holistic program that supports youth workers’ development across multiple competence areas.

Digitally friendly approach: Digital platforms will be integrated for collecting ressources, competence assessment and certification.
