Youth work is not always fun (Garth 2013). In fact, youth workers often suffer emotional stress due to the challenging work context they operate in (Newton 2018); and burnout is one possible turn out (Barford
2010).

We all know how pandemic affected education
and people working in it. In this TC we aim at working this out, from emotional and somatic point of view.

Target group & international/intercultural composition of the group & team

- Youth multipliers 21+ (youth workers -we

trainers, NGO representatives, young
professionals ...) active in the youth field.
- Ability to communicate in English.

the project (preparation, main activity, and
follow-up activity).

opportunities (e.g. financial or social
obstacles, unemployed, living in remote
areas, etc.).
