This project brings together 21 youth workers from 7 European countries for an intensive training course focused on bridging the generational gap in youth work. Today's youth workers face a real and growing challenge: the young people they serve - Generation Z and Generation Alpha - have fundamentally different communication styles, values, learning preferences, and digital behaviours compared to previous generations. Many youth workers, trained in traditional methods, struggle to meaningfully engage these younger cohorts, leading to disengagement, reduced programme impact, and a widening disconnect between youth workers and the communities they serve. This is not a theoretical concern - it is something youth workers across Europe experience in their daily practice, whether they work in urban youth centres or small rural associations. The training course will be hosted at Pastorella, BDT's ecological learning space in Eindhoven, Netherlands, over 7 activity days (excluding travel). Pastorella is an ecological agriculture and community site where sustainability is practised daily through organic food production, outdoor workshops, and nature-based learning - making the venue itself part of the educational experience. The programme will equip participants with practical tools, updated methodologies, and a shared understanding of generational theory, enabling them to adapt their practice to the realities of contemporary youth culture. The participant group is deliberately intergenerational, with youth workers aged 22 to 55 selected from each partner country. This diversity mirrors the project's theme: the cross-generational dynamic within the training group becomes a direct learning resource. Three participants from each of the seven countries (Netherlands, Italy, Czechia, Hungary, Romania, Türkiye, and Spain) ensure geographic and cultural balance, while diversity in organisational backgrounds - from large urban NGOs to small rural associations - enriches the exchange with different perspectives on the same challenge. The training methodology is built around four thematic activity clusters. Generational Immersion activities give participants direct, embodied experience of the generational divide - including a digital immersion challenge and a reverse mentoring session where local young people teach the youth workers about their world. Methodology Labs are hands-on workshops where participants bring their own methods, analyse them against a generational compatibility checklist, and redesign them for today's young people. Reflective and Intercultural sessions - including fishbowl dialogues and cross-cultural analysis - build depth and self-awareness. Creative and Energizing activities maintain momentum through games, team challenges, and a video documentary produced throughout the week. Every session follows the do-reflect-conceptualise-apply learning cycle, grounding the experience in non-formal education principles. The project extends well beyond the training itself. A structured preparation phase includes an online needs assessment survey, a video exchange where each participant films their daily youth work reality, a curated pre-reading pack, and an online meet-and-greet session. After the mobility, participants pilot at least two adapted methods with their youth groups and report back. Three online follow-up sessions at months 1, 3, and 6 provide ongoing peer support and accountability. Together, participants co-create a freely accessible digital toolkit containing adapted method cards, case studies, facilitation guides, and step-by-step instructions. A policy brief with evidence-based recommendations and a video documentary complement the toolkit as lasting project outputs that will benefit the wider European youth work community long after the project concludes. Each partner organisation also hosts at least one local multiplier event - a mini-workshop where trained participants deliver sessions to other youth workers in their community, extending the project's reach far beyond the 21 direct participants. The training will close with a public ceremony bringing together our participants, Dutch youth work organisations, and local young people. Each invited organisation will have a stand and representatives present. The event, running from 13:00 to 19:00, will conclude with intercultural music and food tasting - a practical demonstration that tools like music and intercultural exchange are themselves powerful methods for intergenerational connection. Mission is INTerconnection: Rethinking Youth Work Across Generations is our project title because it states our core focus clearly: strengthening intergenerational connection in youth work. We see "interconnection" not as a slogan but as a practical method - creating spaces where different generations of youth workers and young people can understand each other's realities, values, and ways of communicating. The project responds directly to the fact that generat
