With this project, we wanted to create a space where youth workers could slow down, come together, and look at the topic of domestic violence with the seriousness, care and depth it deserves. From the beginning, we knew that this was not a topic that could be approached only through theory or simple information-sharing. Domestic violence touches people’s safety, dignity, relationships, identity, and sometimes their own personal stories. Because of that, our main aim was to empower youth workers with knowledge, practical tools and emotional awareness, so they can better recognise, address and prevent domestic violence in their work with young people and communities. We wanted the participants to understand domestic violence not only as individual behaviour, but also as a wider social and cultural issue. During the training course, we explored its different forms, causes, warning signs, consequences and the support systems that exist in different countries. We also wanted to help youth workers feel more confident in recognising early signs of abuse, responding with empathy, and knowing how to guide someone towards appropriate support without putting them at further risk. Another important objective was to strengthen the capacity of youth workers to speak about sensitive topics in a responsible and human way. The group was carefully prepared for this process, and throughout the activity the trainers paid a lot of attention to the well-being of everyone involved. We wanted to create a safe and supportive learning environment where participants could share, reflect, ask difficult questions, and also step back whenever they needed. The topic was sensitive, so the process had to be sensitive too. We also wanted to encourage the participants to exchange realities from their own countries and organisations. Domestic violence exists across borders, but the way it is understood, spoken about, reported and supported can be very different from one context to another. Through this intercultural exchange, the participants learned from each other’s experiences, compared support systems, and reflected on what can be improved in their own communities. A further objective was to give youth workers concrete non-formal education methods that they could later use in their daily work. Through activities such as case studies, role play, problem tree analysis, red flag exercises, reflection groups, creative writing and Loesje methodology, the participants practised how to open conversations, raise awareness and support learning around difficult issues. We wanted them to leave the training not only with more knowledge, but also with tools they could adapt and multiply back home. We wanted the project to contribute to safer, more respectful and more supportive communities. By investing in youth workers, we believe we also invest in the young people they work with. Our objective was that after the mobility, the participants would be better prepared to raise awareness, promote healthy relationships, challenge silence and stigma, and support prevention of domestic violence in their local contexts.
