Training Course “Mycelium”

WHAT?

Mycelium is an immersive training course for youth workers, designed to respond to the urgent need to transform youth work through a holistic, socio-affective and sustainable approach.

The project brings together 18 youth workers from 8 European countries (Spain, Italy, Portugal, Latvia, Poland, Estonia, Sweden and Bulgaria) to collectively explore new ways of caring for both young people and the professionals who accompany them.

The training emerges in a context where the mental and emotional health of young people and youth workers is increasingly affected by over-digitalisation, ideological polarisation and the lack of tools for conflict management, emotional regulation and effective communication. Mycelium aims to address these challenges by placing care, inclusion and wellbeing at the centre of youth work, strengthening both individual practices and organisational cultures.
