ROOTS & ROUTES - Youth Workers Strengthening Communities
"Roots & Routes: Youth Workers Strengthening Communities" is a 7-day training course within the Erasmus+ program, organized by Entropia APS, based in Rende, Calabria, Italy, from March 25 to March 31, 2025.
This project aims to strengthen the skills of aspiring youth workers, providing them with essential and innovative tools to tackle the challenges of working with young people by exploring the connection between local grounding ("Roots") and global connections ("Routes"). The goal is to develop young professionals capable of creating a positive impact in their local communities while maintaining an international and innovative perspective.
Over the course of seven days, participants will explore the topic through a variety of methods, including interactive workshops, pratical exercises and creative sessions. A dynamic and engaging mix of activities designed to provide skills, innovative tools and meaningful experiences.
Participants will engage in role-playing scenarios and World Café-style discussions to explore topics such as social cohesion, inclusion, and global challenges, alongside team-building exercises to foster an informal, collaborative, and inclusive learning environment.
During the training course, there will be opportunities for cultural exchange, informal networking, and personal growth, culminating in the awarding of the Youthpass, the European certificate that recognizes and certifies the skills acquired.
"Roots & Routes" equips participants with the tools to become skilled youth workers ready to strengthen their communities while embracing global opportunities.
Travel expenses, accommodation, and all training facilities are covered by the European Union's Erasmus+ program.
