UpsideDown Reflections is our idea of supporting the youth workers. Title carries a double meaning. On one hand, it refers to the importance of looking at things from different perspectives, turning experiences upside down in order to see them in a new light. On the other hand, it reflects the reality of youth work practice: many youth workers are skilled at delivering activities but lack the tools and knowledge to guide proper reflection afterwards. Through this project, we aim to “bring things back to zero,” deconstructing superficial approaches to reflection, and then rebuild them with new, powerful knowledge, skills and creative methods. In this way, participants will leave not only with deeper competences but also with a fresh, transformed vision of reflection in youth work. We aim to strengthen the quality of youth work by addressing a gap that has been repeatedly identified in our networks: the limited skills of youth workers, facilitators and trainers in conducting meaningful reflection processes. Reflection is a core element of non-formal education, yet it is often applied superficially or overlooked entirely. Many youth workers, particularly newcomers, lack creative tools and confidence to guide young people in analysing their learning, connecting experiences to competences, and recognising growth through instruments such as Youthpass. By implementing this professional development activity, we want to achieve three interconnected results: Equip youth workers with practical competences in designing and facilitating reflection activities, using a variety of creative, inclusive and context-adaptable methods. Create a Reflection Methods Toolkit as a concrete output that collects, tests and documents innovative tools, making them accessible for future use across organisations and the wider youth work sector. Strengthen the capacity of participating organisations by embedding reflection practices into their daily work, ensuring that quality standards of Erasmus+ and non-formal education are met and sustained. From the perspective of youth work practice, the project pursues the following objectives: Develop facilitation competences of youth workers. By training 28 youth workers (26 of them with fewer opportunities), we will increase their ability to design and deliver structured reflection sessions adapted to different learning styles, cultural contexts and group needs. This directly improves their professional competence as facilitators. Introduce creative and inclusive reflection methods. Participants will learn and test tools such as storytelling, artistic methods, digital tools, embodied and nature-based approaches. These methods will expand the repertoire of youth workers and make reflection more engaging, especially for young people who are less motivated by traditional approaches. Strengthen peer learning and mentoring between experienced and newcomer youth workers. The consortium brings together both well-established and newcomer organisations. Through activities such as peer facilitation and mentoring circles, experienced youth workers will transfer their knowledge to less experienced colleagues, supporting capacity building across the sector. Promote recognition of learning outcomes through Youthpass. The project will train youth workers to use Youthpass not only as a certificate but as a pedagogical tool. This competence will be transferred back to organisations, ensuring that young people supported by these youth workers also benefit from structured recognition of their learning. Foster organisational innovation and sustainability. Each partner will integrate reflection methods into their own youth work practice and will organise follow-up workshops for colleagues, volunteers and young people. This ensures that results are multiplied and that youth work in each country benefits directly. Support inclusion and participation of youth workers with fewer opportunities. By involving participants facing geographical, economic, educational and cultural barriers, the project ensures that reflection competences are not concentrated only among privileged groups but become accessible across diverse communities.
