From January 20 to 26, we co-facilitated another edition of the international training course “The Power of Non-Formal Education.” This time, 22 educators and youth workers from 13 different countries embraced the “challenge of being challenged.” The event was elegantly organized and hosted by the Bulgarian National Agency for Erasmus+ in Sofia, Bulgaria. With Simona Molari, Denis Morel, and Jo Claeys.
This weekend, we began working concretely on the upcoming 14-month international project “Do You(r) Mind.” The aim: to co-create a practical educational tool to demystify the current mental health challenges faced by young people aged 13 and up. This initiative is in collaboration with Uilenspiegel from Belgium. Next step: the young people themselves will take the lead in designing and developing the tool. With Jef Vanhove and Jo Claeys.
An intense day of training in Vila da Marmeleira on various gamified educational tools to support people in the holistic concept of employability. The CM Cascais department was deeply committed.
