The ANCHOR project originates from the direct experience of the six consortium organizations in youth work across various European contexts. Through local initiatives and residential programs, partners from Portugal, Greece, Bulgaria, Malta, France, and Spain identified recurring challenges in emotional regulation, autonomy, and the capacity of young people to handle demanding situations. The European Union Youth Conference in Budapest, held in late 2024, validated these observations, where organizations reported similar patterns: a growing tendency toward isolation in group activities due to anxiety and difficulty adapting to collective dynamics. Consultations with young people highlighted common themes such as increased anxiety in unfamiliar environments, fear of rejection, and limited confidence in independent management of daily challenges. Scientific literature confirms these experiences reflect broader European trends. Contributing factors include overprotective parenting practices, which can limit self-efficacy development (Segrin et al., 2013), and a reduction in tolerance for uncertainty (Masten & Barnes, 2018). These are compounded by the long-term impacts of social isolation during the COVID-19 pandemic (OECD, 2023) and intensive digital engagement, which often reduces exposure to social negotiation and unpredictable emotional processing (European Commission, 2022). Although resilience is widely discussed, the consortium identified a gap between theory and practice. Many youth workers lack opportunities to reflect on their own coping strategies, which limits their ability to authentically support young people. Consequently, the aim of this training course is to strengthen the personal and professional resilience of youth workers and youth leaders, equipping them to respond to current emotional and psychological challenges. Through experiential learning, participants will explore resilience as a dynamic process shaped by experience and social context. The specific objectives of the project are as follows: Deepen understanding of resilience as a practical competence applicable to youth work, using the European Training Strategy (ETS) competence framework. Support reflective exploration of personal experiences influencing vulnerability and overcoming capacity, integrating the framework of The Resilient Practitioner (Skovholt & Trotter-Mathison, 2016). Implement the ANCHOR Resilience Intervention Protocol as a technical tool for immediate application in the local communities of the six partner countries. Integrate strategies for psychological health protection and emotional regulation in virtual contexts, ensuring practitioners master European digital literacy frameworks focused on citizen safety and well-being. Strengthen the transnational cooperation network among the six institutions, promoting methodological innovation and mutual support among professionals from Portugal, Malta, Spain, France, Greece, and Bulgaria. Contribute directly to the European Youth Goals, prioritizing Goal #5 (Mental Health and Well-Being), consolidating the role of youth work in promoting youth emotional balance within the Erasmus+ Program.
