A creative training toolkit for youth workers offers playful exercises, arts-based methods, and practical tools to boost creative thinking, confidence, and inclusivity when working with young people. It is a second edition of the toolkit.
The tool aims to help youth workers develop their creative thinking, build confidence in using creative methods, and foster openness and inclusivity, enabling them to better support and inspire young people.
Creative training for non-creative youth workers was designed for youth workers who may not initially see themselves as creative. It invited them to engage in play, reflection, and collaborative activities to discover new ideas while exploring the topic of creativity.
The course aimed to enhance creative thinking while fostering a spirit of openness and inclusivity, helping participants feel more confident in supporting young people. Using non-formal education methods, the training combined storytelling, visual and expressive arts, drama, dance, and reflective practices, alongside creativity-boosting exercises, key theories, and practical creative tools for generating ideas.
This booklet showcases exercises from the training, such as:
• Inspired by Land Art
• Creative Idol: Mapping Through Collage
• Stories from the Sea
• Mark-making
• Gift-Making
It also features five self-directed final projects created for youth workers:
•Creativity Blockers
•Spell and Spark Deck
•Ideas Keep Falling on My Head
•Creative Reflection Cards
•The Creative Journey in Rozewie, Poland
Moreover, the toolbox is enriched with quotes from participants, which will inspire and motivate you to cultivate your creativity in daily life :)
The toolbox is a product of Human Intelligence.
