In the framework of the Erasmus+ KA2 project, The Book of Life: write your own bestseller, a training on youth personal development was held in Beja, Portugal, hosted by the partner Check-in.
From 1st till the 4th of February the Learning, Training and Teaching Activity was held by a group of specialists in psychological fields. 20 youth workers from the 5 European Countries, members of the strategic partnership, have attended the training, during which were tested and furtherly implemented 10 workshops on The Book of Life program that aims to develop youth launching skills for their independent living. Each partner researchers have developed two workshops before the training and once there they have facilitated their own to the other participants.
Thanks to this work, now youth workers have feedback and have acquired more clear instructions on how they can influence young people, through methodologies adapted to the context.
The next step will be “The personal development program My bestseller – The hero’s journey“, that is a personal development program addressed to young people that are starting their pathway of independent life. It will be realized through 6 local workshops that use non-formal education as the main method, guided by youth workers.
