The training for youth workers aimed to provide them with the knowledge and competences about inclusive approaches and principles, theatre methodologies and practices, digital youth work and NFE to implement inclusive activities applying methodologies and practices used mostly in the field of theatre which can be implemented also in digital youth work.
During the training we also assessed and validated the efficiency, clarity, exhaustiveness and usability of the content of the Manual and some of the activities prepared, to connect youth workers from different realities and countries, and get the youth workers ready to deliver the local piloting.
Youth workers involvement was also fundamental in the production process of results, providing feedback, adjustments or integrations. During the training youth workers shared experiences, ideas and best practices.
28 youth workers coming from the partner organizations, their close associated partners and main local stakeholders and organisations to ensure diffusion and early transfer of the results prepared, participated in the LTTA in Morfasso (Italy) on 4-10 May 2023.
This training led youth workers to experience the inclusive activities proposed and the most suitable digital tools to improve the quality and inclusivity of their youth work. Self-reflection and interaction with other participants and trainers was the dimension in which trainers worked to improve, empower and expand knowledge and competences in inclusion, theatre, NFE, and (digital) youth work.
