Impactful Journeys Part 2 - Study Visit in Florence

Study Visit

1-8 December 2025 | Settignano-Florence, Italy

The study visit includes visits and activities designed to explore strategies and best practices in the field of active youth participation, with a focus on local and innovative experiences in the city of Florence area.

As a youth worker, your influence is central to shaping the lives of young people. Investing in your self-development strengthens your capacity and enables you to lead by example and create a lasting impact on your organization.
Through this program, you will:

  • Gain first-hand insights into local and international approaches to youth participation and civic engagement.
  • Exchange experiences and ideas with peers working in youth work, non-formal education, and community development.
  • Discover practical strategies to empower young people, foster inclusion, and promote active citizenship at the local level.
  • Strengthen your professional network and develop new Erasmus+ partnerships for future youth-led initiatives.


This program is designed for youth workers aged 18–35 who:

  • Are actively involved in youth organizations.
  • Want to enhance their ability to support young people.
  • Have a strong command of English.
  • Are committed to participating fully in the program.
  • Seek personal and professional growth to bring added value to their organization.

During the study visit, you will take part in a variety of activities across Florence and its surroundings. You will have the opportunity to meet and learn from a range of associations and grassroots initiatives that actively promote youth participation, civic engagement, and community
involvement. Through field visits, workshops, and interactive sessions, you will gain a deeper understanding of how local youth organizations empower young people, promote active
citizenship, and create spaces for dialogue, advocacy, and social change at the local level.

Participants will stay at a venue in shared 2–3 bedrooms, providing opportunities for networking and connection among peers. All meals are covered by the project.

Travel reimbursement will be done according Erasmus+ rules.
Location: Villa Morghen Via Feliceto 8 50135 Settignano, FLORENCE
