30 youth workers, leaders and volunteers from Italy, Czech Republic, Bulgaria, Croatia, Turkey.
Training teams was made up of 2 international trainers.
Using the tools of Nature, Authentic Communication and Theatre we will learn together how to empower the young people we work with by developing their skills in enhanced communication, conflict resolution techniques, entrepreneurial thinking and active participation.
The programme involves theoretical inputs and practical workshops, discussions, group processes and individual work.
The outcome was more empowered youth workers who now know how they can use nature based, positive communication and theatre to work with their young people. By empowering their young people they supported them to become more active citizens in their communities and society at large. For partners projects were form for the future and their youth workers also carried out local based workshops and activities.
The training team has applied for a 3rd training of the Enact programme.
