In October 2025, the EmpowerYOUth project reached an important milestone with the delivery of an in-person international training for youth workers, hosted in Italy, followed by an online follow-up session.
A total of 32 youth workers from partner countries took part in a 2–3 day intensive training focused on mental wellbeing, resilience, and meaningful work with young people aged 14–18.
The training combined theory, experiential learning, reflection, and practical preparation for piloting the EmpowerYOUth approach in real youth and school contexts.
This was a key step in strengthening the capacity of youth workers to address topics that matter most to young people today.
