Training Course: Let's Dream Wider! - Identity, Vision, Action.
We invite you to participate in the 6-day training course “Let’s dream wider!”, from 24 - 29th April 2023, including travel days, in Würzburg, Germany.
Do you also dream about a society where everybody is included? Diversity and social inclusion are essential components of living together. Nonetheless, a lot of (young) people experience some form of exclusion.
Aim : This training course aims to equip participants to have a more inclusive approach in their (youth) work. It will be a helpful resource for participants to be vulnerable in a safer space, where being open is embraced.
Instead of focusing on differences we will emphasize connections: with yourself, with other participants and within your respective communities.
We propose to take you along in a new way of creating a concrete action plan for a specific change that you can implement in your daily life.
