The project called “Be Your Best Friend” focused on bringing more attention to the youth workers' self care as an important area to develop professional competences in the field. The activities of this project, which was a training course in two parts, for youth workers in the topic of self-care and self-empathy addressed the competence which could be called: personal resource management. We combined mindful and intentional movement, voice work, and embodied nonviolent communication to offer a training activity. Participants practiced self-empathy and took care of the communication process as a very tangible aspect in youth work, starting from self-communication, and moving to communication with others. The methods were chosen according to the expertise of the partner organisations, and their interest to practice specific techniques. We could understand what was the most needed for youth workers from what had been explored, and what could be easily adapted to different contexts. This resulted in creating a set of easy practices that was shared with other youth workers and organisations outside of the project.
