International Youth Work (Erasmus+)

Description

WSTCYS runs two distinct types of European Projects – Training Courses and Youth Exchanges. Working collaboratively with other organisations in the European context adds a depth and richness to the valuable work that is ongoing with young people throughout the network of WSTCYS Projects in Waterford.

The young people involved in the Youth Exchanges co-create, plan, operate and evaluate the Exchange weeks in partnership with the Youth Workers.

In the past 12 months, we have run the following Projects in conjunction with our European partners:

1. ‘A Deeper Sense of Inclusion’ Training Course for European Youth Workers (from 10 countries across Europe including Belgium, Spain, Croatia, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Estonia, Armenia, Jordan, Romania and Ireland)

2. ‘Power Up!’ Youth Exchange where 30 young people spent a week in each of Estonia, Armenia and Ireland developing themselves and learning about other cultures.
