IJGD team has identified and shared some of the same concern with partner organisations regarding the challenges we find in youth work. Most of the challenges that were not related to the technical side of our job were narrowed down to one single point - lack of selfcare and self-support tools and mechanisms which would support our own well-being, empower us and allow us to avoid the burnout and emotional breakouts. Furthermore, the same concern has been identified in regards to organizations we work for – the lack of capacities, skills or knowledge of the tools that would allow us to have a support needed for the psychological and emotional recharge in situation of conflicts, work in stressful or emotionally overcharged settings, work with young people who require our full attention and devotion or simply work overload and long working hours in constantly changing contexts of the youth work. With an aim to address this challenge, IJGD plans to gather trainers in nonformal education with particular set of skills in self-development, psychotherapy, meditation and mindfulness, to develop a programme which will address this issue and support youth workers themselves in how to process high demands educational programmes have in regards to emotional and psychological support of the participants, especially among those coming from vulnerable groups and how to self-regulate stressful elements of their work, in order to provide and create more attentive, empathetic and emotionally supportive learning environment for their beneficiaries, as well for themselves and their colleagues. The idea to implement this project started with the survey implemented among the youth workers at the one of the meetings of the Alliance of voluntary service organizations. The results have shown the increased need for psychological support and empowerment of the youth workers, need to work on personal well-being and the well-being of the young people organizations are working with. As services providers for young people, the partners and trainers fight to assure the highest level of professionalism, which includes the emotional and psychological support, especially when it comes to working with vulnerable groups, or in situations colored by increased stress levels, such as global pandemic, and to address their needs which that include following: to feel secure in their life/ not feel discriminated or threatened and to shape a better future for themselves. Youth workers, on the other hand, are mostly left to themselves when it comes to seeking emotional support, counseling or psychotherapy. The opportunity and reason for the intervention: Youth work is commonly understood as a tool for development, inclusion, citizenship, but also personal well-being of young people. In order to provide additional support to youth workers and young people in dealing with high levels of stress and burnout, we we choose to mix the opportunity provided by the E+ framework together with resources of partners and equip them with tools for self-care and psychological support. In addition, through this project, young people from partner organisations will also benefit with increased competences for taking care of their own well being, while also getting support from youth workers. AIM: To provide more quality emotional support to young people involved in youth work programs of partner organisations, through empowering of youth workers to take care of their own and their participants’ emotional well-being.
