“European School of Animators” is a beginner’s level training course, aimed at young workers and animators. The training course will take place in Rome, Italy from the 19th to the 25th March 2023.

Objectives

The main aim of the activity is to make young animators familiar with the new options that the developing society brings for youth work. Change is the only constant we can count on.

2. Reflecting and reacting on changes within the reality of youth work
3. Strengthen participants’ general skills within youth work
