About
The aim of the training course for youth workers is to reconsider the tendency to overconsumption and to appreciate the sustainable values of quality time with people, nature and inner selves through pilgrimage .
You will make the pilgrimage type hiking of over 90 km of Daugavpils-Aglona route, on your way exploring various spiritual techniques and searching ideas for combating dependency on things to share with young people.
The TC is designed for youth workers who are interested in combating their own and young people's dependency on things and overconsumption and try to survive with the needed minimum in practice, being present here and now, appreciating quality time and finding inspiration in spiritual techniques to fight against young people's depression and low self-esteem.
