Grow offers a space to pause, look inward, and consciously work on yourself. This international project brings together youth workers from across Europe around a topic that underlies everything else: personal growth, emotional intelligence, and authentic leadership. Through reflective exercises, coaching techniques, and empathetic communication, participants will explore their inner patterns, build confidence, and enhance their cognitive growth. The project creates a safe space for personal reflection while supporting the development of peace-oriented attitudes and effective leadership.
What will you learn?
✔ Self-awareness in practice: How to better understand your thoughts and behavioural patterns and how to apply this in your work with young people.
✔ Emotional intelligence: How to work with emotions, listen actively, and build meaningful relationships.
✔ Leadership & wellbeing: Practical tools for personal development and the ability to support others.
✔ Coaching techniques: How to integrate coaching principles and reflective practice into your everyday work with young people.
Who is the project for?
- Youth workers, counsellors, educators, trainers, and project coordinators aged 20 and above
- Motivated individuals who want to actively work on themselves and bring that into their practice
- Those with a good understanding of the socio-economic reality of young people in their community
