Mind the gap: Innovative Approaches to Engaging NEET Youth

Training Course

1-9 September 2025 | Domony, Hungary

The training will cover the role of the facilitator working with NEET youth. Participants will design workshops in groups and create workshops to engage young people.

Methodology:

We use non-formal educational activities including art pedagogy and experiential learning. The course follows a horizontal approach, promoting equal participation and peer learning as well as trying the role of a facilitator and giving and receiving feedback on workshops designed.

The training is for youth workers focused on better understanding, involving, and empowering NEET youth. The course will cover the role of a facilitator, challenges faced by NEET youth, and creating inclusive, engaging environments. Participants will design and implement workshops in smaller groups. 

We plan to run this training course every autumn, to refine and expand a comprehensive methodology for supporting NEET youth and to create an informal network of youth workers. A key outcome will be the development of a toolkit.

Target group:

We are looking for youth workers who would like to enhance their facilitator skills and everyday practices when working with NEET youth. We are looking for individuals who are directly in contact with these young people.

Please make sure you have a sending organisation from your own country when applying.

Apply here by 15th of August!

Organiser:

Jatszoda Association (Youth NGO)

Founded in 2004, Jatszoda Association initially focused on supporting the development of young people with special educational needs. After a decade, the organisation shifted towards cultural and eco-conscious programs, emphasising the urgency of environmental education. The purchase of a 4-hectare property near Budapest, named "Dombfalva," facilitates eco-conscious programs with a strong focus on youth engagement.

Actively involving young people we promote environmental education, sustainable lifestyles, community building, volunteerism, active citizenship, physical and mental wellbeing and mobility programmes all facilitated through non-formal educational methods and art pedagogy.

In our experience, success comes from connecting environmental awareness with community involvement. We strongly believe that by fostering sustainability in both our environment and communities, we can make a lasting impact not only on the lives of the youth we engage with but also within the various circles surrounding us, extending from the local community to the international stage through our programs.
