The 7-day-lasting seminar “Be active! Make a change in 2020!” with different 8 countries Greece, Cyprus, Malta, Romania, Latvia, Italy, Turkey and United Kingdom 34 participants involved, designed to create a foundation to build more caring, supportive and healthy communities by providing safe space for the participants to connect with their emotions, share experiences, develop positive attitudes and acquire tools and strategies to respond to the challenges of social issues effectively and with compassion. Through methods such as dialogue, group discussion and self-reflection, bodywork, meditation, stillness, movement, dance and play we will journey into our personal stories and experience, learn from each other, exchange and identify practices, and create a shared understanding of what is necessary to bring more trust, support and empathy in youth work. We had sessions on designing and planning concrete follow-up and dissemination activities to ensure the wider impact of the project. Transversal aspects of the training course were the Erasmus + Programme, professional and organisational development, and the fostering of new partnerships and projects. The main aim of the project is to create a foundation to build more caring, supportive and healthy communities by providing safe space for the participants to connect with them. Throughout this seminar, participants have developed greater awareness of their bodies, feelings, emotions and inner processes to build safe, empathic and authentic connection with youth based on trust and openness, therefore building strong foundations to create healthy, caring and supportive communities. During the 7 days, participants have gained more self-awareness, develop their capacity to communicate in compassionate and non-violent manner, lead from the heart and mind alike, as well as learn to motivate and bring out the best in themselves, the people they are working with and communities they reside. This project also addresses the issue of stimulating young people’s spirit of creativity and initiative to foster social inclusion and solidarity. The project had multiple positive effects on the individuals involved, cultivating a thorough understanding of each community’s needs and issues. Participants also engaged in an inter-cultural exchange and sharing of good practices at a local level. The course was held in a very lovely area in Ashford, United Kingdom. Participants working in group had also developed tools and strategies how to improve and maintain wellbeing thus contributing to developing resilience in themselves and young people they work with. Compassion has one of the core values at the basis of the program as well as subject for participants to explore and see opportunities, to create processes and safe spaces for wellbeing and to be fostered and flourish in their home communities.
