Training Course: "Power of Positivity - Youth Exchanges" in Finland

Training Course: "Power of Positivity - Youth Exchanges"
22-26 June 2020 | Nurmes, Finland

The training helps you to clarify your understanding of mental health and discover how you can support young people's mental health in your work. Moreover, you will learn how youth exchanges fit in to the discussion.

Who is this training for?
You should be interested in the topic of mental wellbeing as well as in international youth work. You may be interested in
- challenging your understanding of mental wellbeing
- learning ways to talk about mental health with young people
- learning working ways to promote mental health
- organising youth exchanges where young people are actively involved in the projects
- learning ways to support young people's involvement in youth exchange projects
- understanding how mental health can be discussed in youth exchanges
- finding possible partners to future youth exchanges who share the same understanding of working ways

It is much better if you will already have a group of young people that you are working with. It is even better, if you have talked with them about the possibility of an international youth exchange and they are interested in one. We will prioritise applicants who work regularly with a group of young people and regularly organise daily or weekly local activities for them. Starting to plan a youth exchange is much easier, if you can start working with your group when you return home.
