Training Course
17-24 April 2023 | Ängsbacka, Sweden
“Leadership, Empowerment and Facilitation for Youth” (LEAFY) is a training course for youth workers that will take place in the Ängsbacka, Sweden from 17th to 24h April 2023.
WHY YOUNG LEADERS FOR FUTURE?
A pan-European youth survey conducted in April, 2021 by IPSOS among more than 22.000 people aged 15-35 in 23 European countries shows that climate change and environmental degradation are still more than 10% above any other worries among young Europeans, including the spread of infectious diseases. This suggests that young people are generally clear sighted about the long-term challenges facing humanity. This project aims to create a shared knowledge base among youth workers and youth leaders so that they can work more effectively with young people around the topics of sustainability, inclusion and climate change.
WHY ECOVILLAGES?
The course will tap into the experience that European ecovillages have accumulated as pioneer educational centres around these topics and it will share an innovative toolbox for youth workers that has been developed and adapted by a partnership among ecovillages, youth workers and sustainability campaigners. An ecovillage is an intentional or traditional community that is designed through local and participatory processes to regenerate social and natural environments. The 4 dimensions of sustainability - ecology, economy, society and culture - are integrated in a holistic approach. Ecovillages are models of sustainable settlements that serve as training and learning centres where people experience, through informal and non-formal education activities, the experience of sharing life in a cohesive, inclusive and sustainable society.
WHERE IS IT GOING TO HAPPEN?
Ängsbacka is a Course and Festival Center for personal and spiritual growth located in the beautiful deep forests of Värmland, Sweden. We support people in their paths to sustainable development, well-being and harmony.
For over 25 years Ängsbacka served as an internationally renowned source of inspiration and meeting place where tens of thousands of people have participated in our events, courses and volunteering programs. We believe that the magic of Ängsbacka lays in authentic connection with yourselve, the people and the nature around you.

Ängsbacka works in the field of life-long and informal education and sustainable development as a centre for sustainable living and personal development where courses and festivals in yoga, meditation, personal development and sustainability are offered throughout the year.
At Ängsbacka all four dimensions of sustainability (the economic, ecological, social and cultural) are seen as mutually reinforcing. Attention to each one is essential for holistic and healthy community development. Here, people learn not only through the courses and workshops offered, but most importantly through the immersive experience that is incorporated into everyday life in an intentional working community.
