Restore. Transform. Flourish

Erasmus+, KA 1 Mobility for youth workers within Erasmus + Accreditation

28 February - 08 March 2022
Overall aim of the training is to support participants in creating a transformative environment for learners through personal reflection, embodiment and mindfulness practices. To enrich youth professional activities with mindfulness approach, methods and techniques in order to support learners and wellbeing and mental health, efficiency and active participation. To create a space where participants can express themselves and share their own experience in order to cultivate openness, compassion and curiosity in the learning process, to be deeply connected to ourselves, nature and environment.
After the training participants:

  • familiar with a concept of non-formal education and transformative learning;
  • have clearer overview of own capabilities, strengths and space for growth through reflective practices;
  • gain knowledge about mindfulness as a method and a practice;
  • gain personal experience in mindfulness and embodiment practices;
  • find a way to incorporate practice in daily life and into work with learners/ young people;
  • able to support themselves and learners on a deeper level;
  • gain new ideas and inspiration through exchange with colleagues from different countries.
