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 – Ieva, Spain.
This summer my Lithuanian team and I had the chance to participate in an Erasmus+ project called “Mastering the art of training: training for trainers in non-formal education” in Samobor, Croatia. Over the span of 9 days, we were taken through the steps, methods, and practices of being a good trainer and facilitator. The project itself was an intense 9-day training with the goal of providing participants with expert guidance to develop essential skills for facilitating non-formal educational activities. In short, we were taught how to be trainers for youth-related activities. There were team building activities, role playing, discussions, and dialogues. This made the participants more involved in the presented topics and fostered the spirit of facilitation. In addition to this, during our free time, some participants organized their own workshops. These included a drawing workshop, meditation and breathing exercises, a Turkish alphabet lesson, and a creative writing lesson. Finally, at the end of the training, every participant had a chance to organize their own training session, putting the skills we learned during these 9 days to use. That’s when the participants really showed what they were capable of, with the topics of these sessions spanning from disabilities to the power of choice – Vidas, Croatia
