MIND, BODY & MESSAGE - tools to increase youth workers impact - third phase

About the project: MIND, BODY & MESSAGE builds integrity in NGO communication, improves entrepreneurship of youth workers, supports cross-sectoral networking to create and maintain recognition and support systems for youth work.

The MIND creates your state. The BODY shapes your way of expression. The MESSAGE delivers your values, purpose and idea to the others. All these three together bring you the dreamed result through awareness using different tools.

The objectives of MIND, BODY & MESSAGE are:

- to share best practice of training and coaching entrepreneurship of youth

- to improve communication and entrepreneurship skills of youth workers

- to build NGO capacities for cross-sectoral networking

Phase 3: “What you give is what you get”

We are going to work from morning till late evening. The program is super intense and very well packed. Participants will have opportunities to experience and explore different methods from the basics of NLP, through the 4 different communication styles till some art therapy. Activities what are planned for the course are all from non-formal educational activities and by which you are learning by experience - meaning that we are going to do and do things. Every day, every session is going to use the knowledge/experience of the previous ones and build on it, every step is going to be a bit more difficult, in order that we keep our brain, body and state alive and fresh and ready all the time. Your enterprise or project will be the main focus. We will have a look from many different angels. From the point of a grant agency, from the point of a business company, from the point of the target group. With the activities we are going to share with you tools to reshape, reframe and reform your idea if it is needed to reach the dreamed goal/destination/target/aim.
