  • Training Course

This training offers youth workers the opportunity to develop competencies and exchange knowledge and experiences on how to artistically shape play and meeting spaces for children and young people during their free time. With ‘artistically’ we mean: introducing individuals to art and culture. It encompasses all artistic skills: music, visual arts, movement, drama, media, and play.

This training is about: 

  • Stimulating youth workers, instilling the desire to engage artistically on their own. From there, shaping artistic competencies to provide relevant methods and tools to pass on that desire to fellow professionals, volunteers and the target group, namely children and young people.
  • Providing competencies to apply artistic methods and tools.
  • Teaching methods and tools to engage artistically with a group of children and young people in an accessible way.
