👀 What happens when Erasmus+ meets a festival? 🌍

We spent some time at Momentum Festival in Košice, representing our organisation, meeting young people, having conversations, and bringing the world of Erasmus+ a little closer to them. 🤝

We talked about the opportunities that are out there, shared what Erasmus+ can actually look like, and answered questions from young people who were curious about travelling, learning, meeting people from different countries, and trying something new. 💬✈️

And that’s exactly why we enjoy events like this. Sometimes discovering a new opportunity starts with something as simple as stopping by, having a conversation, and realizing: “Wait… I could actually do this too.” 👀

Thanks to everyone who came to talk with us, asked questions, or simply wanted to find out what we do. Maybe we’ll meet again somewhere on an Erasmus+ project! 🌱

You can talk about facilitation for days. Eventually, someone has to hand you the marker and say: your turn. 😅

We planned and delivered our own workshops, bringing together everything we had explored during the training; non-formal education, learning goals, facilitation, visual tools, group dynamics, and feedback. 🎤

Suddenly, we weren’t thinking about these things separately anymore. We had a real group in front of us, a workshop to guide, time to manage, and moments where we simply had to adapt and see what worked. 👀

Afterwards, we gave each other constructive feedback and reflected on what went well, what surprised us, and what we would approach differently next time. 💬

That’s probably the best way to finish a training like this: not by proving that you can do everything perfectly, but by trying, reflecting, and knowing what you want to improve next. 🌱

We’re leaving Jahodná with new tools, plenty of practice, and ideas that we can now bring into our own work with young people. 🤝

👉 Follow us to see how we take what we learned in Jahodná into our future activities!

Six full days later… time to look back! 🌿

We continued putting our workshops into practice, but the final part of our journey was also about feedback, evaluation, and thinking about what comes next 💬

We looked back at what worked, what challenged us, what we would change next time, and what we had discovered about ourselves as facilitators along the way 👀

Because trying something is important but taking the time to understand what you learned from it is where a lot of growth happens 🌱

We came to Jahodná to explore non-formal education, facilitation, visual methods and group dynamics. We left with practical experience, new tools, different perspectives, and plenty of ideas we can now take into our own youth work 🤝

The training may be finished, but now comes the interesting part: using what we learned. 🚀

👉 Follow us to see how we bring these methods and experiences into our future work with young people!

There’s always the one who starts talking first… the one full of ideas… and the one quietly observing everything. 👀

Day 5 took us into group dynamics; understanding what happens when different people come together and have to work as a team.

We explored how groups develop over time and looked at different roles people can naturally take within a team. And once you start learning about those patterns, it becomes very hard not to notice them happening in your own group too. 😄

We talked about communication, cooperation, different personalities, and what a facilitator can do when the group needs a little support. 💬

Because working with a group isn’t about making everyone behave or think in the same way. It’s about understanding what’s happening between people and helping them work with those differences. 🌱

And after five days of exploring all of this, there was only one thing left to do: try it ourselves. 👀

👉 Follow us! Next comes the part where we stepped into the facilitator role!

Put a group of different people in one room and… things happen. 👀

Some people naturally take the lead. Some observe first. Some bring ideas. Others make sure everyone is heard. So on Day 5, we explored group dynamics and looked at how groups form, develop, and change over time 🤝

We learned about different team roles and started thinking about what facilitators can notice when working with a group; especially when personalities, communication styles, and perspectives are different 💬

And then came the fun part: once you learn about group dynamics, you inevitably start looking around the room and noticing them happening in your own group too 😅
Understanding people is a big part of understanding facilitation.

👉 Follow us. Because after five days of learning, it was almost time for us to take the facilitator role ourselves!

Young people went out to study how the city impacts them and how they impact the city 🏙 for 5 days in Rzeszów, Poland from 17th August till 29th of August 2026 during a study visit called LeaderShift: Youth Initiatives. ✨

5 days spent in spaces where young people concentrate were filled with discussions and excursions aimed at discovering how cities and young people living in them mutually impact each other. 💫

🌍From exploring different spaces for youth in Rzeszów to discussions about possible improvements in what cities offer to youth and what could youth do for their surroundings the participants shared ideas of how to improve their own home communities. 📈

Sharing ideas, traditions, experiences, and stories with people from many different countries 🧠🎶 while creating memories, having fun, and building friendships that will stay with us and help improve communities all across Europe. 🤍📸🌱

“But I can’t draw!” probably one of the first thoughts when visual facilitation enters the programme. 😅

Luckily, Day 4 wasn’t about becoming artists.

We explored visual facilitation and practised using simple drawings, symbols, colours, lettering, and visual structures to make information easier for a group to understand. ✏️

We grabbed the markers, experimented on paper, and discovered that a very simple visual can sometimes explain an idea faster than another paragraph of text. 👀

And that’s the point: your drawing doesn’t need to be perfect. If people understand what you’re trying to communicate, it’s doing its job.

Our flipcharts may have become a little more colourful after this day… and we’re definitely not complaining. 🌈

Today’s lesson: you really don’t need to know how to draw. 😄

On Day 4, we switched things up and explored visual facilitation; learning how drawings, colours, symbols, layouts and simple visual elements can help us communicate ideas more clearly ✏️

We picked up the markers and actually practised it ourselves. Some drawings were easier to recognize than others… but that was part of the process too 👀

The goal wasn’t to create something worthy of an art gallery. It was about learning how visuals can make information easier to understand, remember, and engage with 💡

Safe to say, we’ll probably never look at an empty flipchart the same way again.

Plot twist: being the person at the front doesn’t mean you should be the person talking the most. 👀

Day 3 was all about facilitation and what it actually means to guide a group through a learning experience.

We explored what can make facilitation work well; from giving understandable instructions and asking the right questions to listening to the group, noticing its energy, and knowing when to step in or step back. 💬

And because this was a training about learning through practice, we didn’t stop at theory. We worked with real group situations and started looking at activities through the eyes of a facilitator. 🤝

It made us realise how many little decisions happen behind an activity that might look simple when you’re participating in it.

Good facilitation isn’t about having all the answers. Sometimes it’s about helping the group find their own. 🌱

Ever joined an activity and thought: “Okay… but why are we doing this?” 👀

Day 3 gave us the answer! 🤗

We explored the basics of non-formal education and facilitation, looking at how people learn through experience and what actually goes into designing a meaningful activity 🧠

We discussed learning goals, tried different methods, reflected on our experiences, and started thinking less like participants and more like facilitators 💬

Because an activity isn’t there just because it’s fun. Behind the games, discussions, group tasks, sticky notes and reflections, there should always be a reason for doing them 🌱

And once you start noticing that, you begin looking at youth activities very differently.

👉 Follow us! There’s much more behind youth work than what you see from the outside!

Think about something you’re really good at. Did you learn it by listening to someone talk about it… or by actually trying it? 👀

On Day 2, we got into non-formal education and explored how learning can happen through experience, activities, discussions, teamwork, and reflection. 🌱

We looked at ideas like experiential learning, learning goals and different ways people learn but instead of only hearing the theory, we experienced different methods ourselves. 💬

We did something, reflected on what happened, connected it to what we were learning, and started thinking about how we could use the same approach with young people.

That’s one of the things we like about non-formal education: you’re not just sitting there collecting information. You’re part of the learning. 🙌
