The overall aim of the Training Course was to increase the awareness of personal strengths and authenticity among Youth Workers during a personal journey of self-discovery, to learn from and share with each other - to care through sharing! ('Caring' is defined as 'displaying kindness or concern for others'). This Training Course focused on gaining a deeper understanding of ourselves so that we can be truly authentic with the young people with whom we work. What is important is 'how you are 'rather than 'what you say'. Participants were stimulated to support the young people they work with, and to guide them in their learning process as full, authentic persons. The participants did this by applying their own learning process with the young people with whom they work on a regular basis, with a view to connecting with and empowering young people who are at risk of exclusion. The Training Course had 6 key objectives: 1. To support Youth Workers to become more aware of themselves. 2. To stimulate creativity, vulnerability, empathy, confidence and resilience of the participants. 3. To frame a learning process where youth workers feel commitment and inclusion by sharing and experience 4. To provide Youth Workers with tools to support a deep connection with the young people they work with 5. To encourage and serve the participants with tools to implement their learning process after the Training Course with a similar process for their target groups in their own community 6. To reflect on their own learning process by using the Key Competences from the Youth Pass and give the opportunity for capacity building in the context of the Erasmus+ Program A further aim was to develop bonds between the organizations and people who participated - to develop a network of connected organizations from across Europe. Many of the organizations involved have taken part in the previous trainings at Woodstown, but they send new participants each year. Many of these are new(ish) Youth Workers , and the Training Course allows them to reflect and learn in the company of like-minded individuals from across Europe. The Training Course has become a space where people can develop relationships at 3 distinct levels - with themselves, with other participants, but also with other organizations. Each iteration of the Course changes with the participants involved, but also in the fact that we add new organizations each year (e.g. Tipperary Rural Traveller Project this year) with the aim of broadening as well as deepening our European network, and giving support to organizations who are looking to engage at a European level.
