Training Course: "InnerGarden"
11-20 July 2023 | Gajrowskie, Poland

InnerGarden will provide a space to contemplate on the value of our work as youth workers and to experience the powerful transformation that can happen both within us and the world around us when we recognize the importance of what we do. The project is designed to present an innovative integrated approach to the holistic development of youth workers, which combines elements from nature-based practices, positive psychology and education, ecopsychology, social work, and personal development. By going through the whole process on their own, participants will have a chance to experience benefits for their own development and learn how to provide similar experiences to young people and other youth workers.

Objectives:
To provide knowledge and skills connecting positive psychology, positive education, personal development, and social work
To explore models and theories from Ecocentric development, Nature-based learning
To practice nature-based methods which provoke self-discovery, thus facilitating personal and professional development
To develop competences that enable youth workers to work with youth on complex personal challenges, thus enabling them to reach their full potential
To practice and equip the youth workers with tools and techniques for working with youth (especially disadvantaged one) for their personal development, social inclusion and realization
To explore alternative practices for addressing developmental needs of disadvantaged youth
