Popis projektu:
What is it about?
In an era where many youth workers and young leaders feel inspired to create change but are often paralyzed by the complexity of implementation, this training offers a refreshing and much-needed perspective. Moving beyond digital pessimism and passive observation, this 10-day non-formal training course empowers participants to move from „what if“ to „what is next“ by mastering the full project lifecycle.
The program focuses also on professional empowerment, understanding the pulse of society, conducting interdisciplinary research, and aligning ideas with all Erasmus+ priorities alongside strategic input from the private and corporate sectors. Participants will develop the mindset of active citizens and social entrepreneurs, learning how to create a tangible impact in both digital and physical communities.
By the end of the training, participants will work in groups to develop transnational mock projects. Throughout this process, they will be guided by experienced grant writers, cross-disciplinary external
speakers, and successful Slovak and international entrepreneurs and activists. This 10-day journey (8 working days + 2 travel days) provides the tools to decode complex community needs and transform them into structured, data-driven projects that aim for resilience and hope.
