"Just Move It" was designed to promote both personal development and professional growth of youth workers by integrating movement and body awareness into youth work practice. The project responded to the observation that many youth workers, trainers and educators struggle with facilitation challenges such as losing confidence, freezing or panicking in front of a group. These difficulties are particularly visible when working with young people facing complex situations or fewer opportunities, where verbal communication alone is often insufficient. The project (KA153-YOU) was coordinated by Kitokio meno sajunga (Lithuania) in cooperation with 8 partner organisations from Bulgaria, Greece, Spain, North Macedonia, Hungary, Estonia, Italy and Romania. Its overall objective was to improve the professional competences of youth workers through an innovative training approach based on body movement, body awareness and embodied learning. The specific objectives were: 1.Development of key competences among youth workers • Enhance participants' skills in non-verbal communication and body awareness as tools for working with young people. • Introduce techniques drawn from contemporary dance and coaching that support personal and professional development. • Strengthen entrepreneurial and leadership competences through exploration of initiative, responsibility and roles in group processes. • Improve youth workers' ability to use body movement as a means of self-expression and as a resource for youth entrepreneurship and creativity. 2. Promotion of social inclusion and equality • Provide an inclusive learning environment for youth workers who work with young people with fewer opportunities, including migrants, individuals with disabilities and young people from minority or marginalised backgrounds. • Create space for intercultural dialogue using bodily expression and non-verbal communication to transcend language barriers. • Support participants in designing innovative strategies for engaging marginalised young people in non-formal education. • Encourage the use of body awareness as a pathway to inclusion for young people who may not be reached by traditional methods. 3. Increasing the capacity of participating organisations • Enrich partner organisations' youth work toolboxes by introducing new methods based on movement and body awareness. • Foster long-term cooperation and exchange of good practices between organisations from different European countries. • Establish sustainable approaches to working with young people in diverse educational and social contexts. • Raise the quality and innovation of non-formal learning programmes within the partner network. 4. Promotion of the Erasmus+ programme and European values • Increase awareness among youth workers and organisations about learning, mobility and professional development opportunities under Erasmus+. • Showcase dance and movement as effective tools for learning, participation and social integration. • Strengthen understanding and appreciation of European principles and values among youth workers and young people. • Disseminate project outcomes widely through performances, workshops, presentations and online communication. 5. Promotion of sustainability, wellbeing and innovation in youth work • Develop practical tools and resources that remain available to youth workers and organisations beyond the project lifetime. • Create training formats that can be reused and adapted in future initiatives and projects. • Encourage holistic approaches to youth work that integrate physical, emotional and cognitive aspects of development. • Support mental health and wellbeing of both youth workers and young people by incorporating body awareness and movement into everyday practice. "Just Move It" was fully aligned with the Erasmus+ priority on inclusion and diversity, the EU Youth Goals 2019–2027 (notably Goals 3, 5 and 8 – Inclusive Society, Mental Health and Wellbeing, Quality Learning) and the European Training Strategy's emphasis on quality and innovation in youth work. Through its implementation, the project advanced the use of body-based methods for social inclusion, personal development and sustainable European cooperation, and helped to build an active network of professionals committed to these approaches. In this way, the project fully addressed the Erasmus+ criteria on relevance, rationale and impact, by achieving the objectives set at application stage, contributing to inclusion and diversity and the EU Youth Goals, and creating clear added value at local and European levels.
