Ieva shares her experience in Spain:
I participated in the “Self-Esteem” project in Spain. This training program, tailored for youth sector workers, focuses on self-discovery and expression through art and creativity. It emphasizes developing inner strengths, resilience, emotional competencies, flexibility, and adaptability to change.
In our informal education setting, we prioritized cultivating skills, competencies, and attitudes using humor, art, creative methods, psychological insights, empathy, and symbolic activities. The aim was to foster social and personal development, shaping positive mindsets and lifestyles.
The town of San Lorenzo de El Escorial, approximately 50 km from Madrid, hosted our project. The Monastery of El Escorial, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, offered a breathtaking backdrop.
This ERASMUS+ experience enriched my knowledge, skills, and responsibilities. I’m grateful for the insights, connections, and memories created with individuals from across Europe. While goodbyes were tough, I hope our paths cross again.
