The applicant organisation has been carrying out educational activities in the youth area since the 1990s, mainly in Transylvania and Hungary, but it is also regularly involved in large-scale international projects and is invited to hold performances or workshops in countries all around the world. Thus it has gained a significant insight into the problems and needs of youth professionals in the region. Through the regular theatre in education activities organised for teachers, trainers and group leaders of nonformal workshops, there is an ongoing dialogue between the applicant and dozens of professionals directly involved in youthwork. This allowed the applicant to identify the needs and challenges in the region that served as the basis for the project objectives: the low prestige of teachers’ work, the declining number of teachers graduating from higher education, the increasing number of people leaving the profession, the growing shortage of teachers, the loss of motivation of teachers due to burnout and overload, and the consequent effects on the youth. In order to make a meaningful contribution to addressing these issues, the applicant has embarked on a regional strategic cooperation involving partner organisations, mainly from bordering countries, with a specific expertise, and/or target group within their reach, to participate in a joint project implementation. As the gradual scaling-up of the strategic goals has been set as a priority, our first project representing this strategy has been carried out with one partner organisation from Serbia in spring 2021, which was an Erasmus+ Youth Workers Mobility project. This organisation has been a regular partner of the applicant since then, and has been involved in the implementation of the present project also, along with 1 additional partner. Thus, the present project was implemented as a continuation and further development of this cooperation and the described strategy. With this specific project, we aimed to create a long-term joint activity with reliable partners to engage 15 youth workers recruited from 3 neighbouring countries in a series of experience-based competence development workshops in response to the above-mentioned issues. The focus of the activities was on promoting mind and body balance, exchanging methods to achieve and pass these on. It is important to add that the youth workers selected as the target group came from small rural settlements, so their access to training in methodologies outside the institutional system is much more limited than that of a colleague working in larger towns or cities. In reaching the target group, the extensive network of the applicant and the partner organisations served as a useful basis (secondary schools, community youth centres, venues for non-formal education throughout the country, Serbia and Romania). Despite the global distress factors unrelated to the project, the planned activity was, overall, implemented as planned and successfully, which the applicant concluded not only on the basis of the fulfilment of the performance indicators but also on the basis of the feedback from the participants and partner organisations.
