[ OBJECTIVES ]
═════════════════════════

Youth Mobility Leaders aim to strengthen the capacity of youth workers to act as group leaders in inclusive Erasmus+ Youth Exchanges involving participants under 18. Working with young participants – especially those with fewer opportunities or in vulnerable situations – requires specific preparation, awareness and responsibility. This training responds to the need for better support systems and safer learning environments in youth mobility projects.

The project aims to:
• explore the role and responsibilities of group leaders in Erasmus+ youth mobility projects;
• develop strategies to support young people with fewer opportunities and highly vulnerable young people;
• introduce practical tools for risk awareness, crisis management and safer learning environments;
• strengthen cooperation and peer learning among youth workers working with under-18 participants.
