TOY - Trainers Online for Youth
This is a reference for Lada Matyášová
The aim of the conference is to create a space where youth work practitioners could exchange ideas, experiences and best practices, and gain knowledge and tools, that would enable them to facilitate workshops about different body image topics. The participants will have a chance to learn more about the tools that were developed within the BODYkind project and choose from a menu of diverse workshops led by facilitators representing different European countries and organizations. This event has been created for youth workers, facilitators, trainers, peer educators, and teachers who are interested in non-
formal learning methodologies.

Particulary, I was responsible for a Partnership Building Activity: Informal, but structured space for those participants who are looking for partners for their international activities. You will have a chance to discover common interests, needs, develop project ideas together, as well as receive guidance from our team members about different funding opportunities within Erasmus+.
