Objectives

By implementing this mobility training for youth workers, the aim was: 1. to improve the quality of youth work practice on nonformal learning by sharing experiences and knowledge from different organisations and youth workers, on how to create the best environment, to enrich the relationships, and better the educational experience that would nurture the hearts of young people who engage in youth work. 2. to provide these organisations and their youth workers with tools that will help them to plan, develop and implement meaningful and significant nonformal activities from planning stage to the post-evaluation activities by also focusing on the environment, the relationships and the significance of presence. 3. to understand and relate better with young people especially those with fewer opportunities. The main objectives were: 1. the understanding of nonformal educational approach in the context of youth work; 2. the importance of building a nurturing environment for young people as a space for growth and development as part of their nonformal educational journey; 3. the significance of building nurturing relationships between youth workers and young people in the context of youth work; 4. how to strengthen the relationship and the environment through the significance of presence of the youth worker as an educator in the nonformal education.
