Lighthouse of the North: training and exchange of experiences between youth workers using arts-based methods and non-formal educational approaches

Do you live in Sweden, Ireland, or Hungary? Do you work with youth and want to empower them through social inclusion and identity-building? Are you eager to develop your skills, exchange ideas with like-minded colleagues, and explore new creative methods?

If you’re looking for inspiration, innovation, and hands-on experience, this is your chance! Join our Project to dive into art-based methods, peer-to-peer education, and turn fresh ideas into reality of your city. It’s a unique opportunity to collaborate, experiment, and upskill in a dynamic and supportive environment.

If you are:

• A youth worker, trainer, or otherwise engaged in working with young people;
• Passionate about inspiring young people, especially those from vulnerable communities;
• Committed to promoting human rights and European identity;
• Interested in using creative tools of non-formal education to achieve these goals;
