Community of Practice Workshop: Learning Together, Growing Stronger
- 25 Aug 2025
In August 2025, Youth+ organised a Community of Practice Workshop for youth workers, volunteers and community leaders: a space to learn together, share experiences and find new ways to improve youth work.
Participants came from different countries and organisations, working in education, mental health, environment and social inclusion, and this variety made the discussions richer.
Sharing ideas, solving problems
In small teams, participants worked on real challenges from their daily work:
- how to motivate young people to take part;
- how to make activities inclusive for everyone;
- how to bring sustainability and well-being into everyday youth work.
Using creative methods, each group analysed its challenge and suggested solutions, and shared examples that worked in their organisations, from eco-friendly campaigns in schools to ideas for young people's mental health.
Working together in the future
In the last session, participants made plans to stay in touch, share resources and keep learning from each other. The Youth+ team set up an online group for this, and many participants want to develop new Erasmus+ projects together.
Results
- Stronger professional skills for youth workers.
- Teamwork and international cooperation.
- New partnerships for future Erasmus+ projects.
- Peer learning and knowledge sharing across Europe.
