"Leap into the void" was implemented from 17.03 to 24.03.2023 in Klaffer, Austria, and the main objectives were: 

- To empower youth workers competences providing them with art and creative approaches on the topic of self-awarness and emotional management for self-care and supporting young people. 

- To enhance non-formal education methods and youth work quality.

My name is Christina, I am from Athens, Greece and I participated in the program of "Leap into the Void” in Klaffer, Austria. It was my third time participating in an Erasmus program. It was an extraordinary experience and I am already looking for another project to participate! One of the most inspiring and artistic projects so far! Hosting was amazing and everything was well organized. The facilitators, Lariss and Rui were so kind and helpful. The activities were really interesting and the interaction with the other participants is something I will never forget! – Christina

"Extremely happy and grateful to have participated in such an interesting training course at Klaffer, Austria, held by highly experienced trainers in their fields. I had the pleasure to meet and connect with people from all over Europe and cooperate on artistic projects! I found an artistic vein that I didn't even know it existed in me, and came in touch with my inner child." – María.

It was literally one of the best experiences of my life. I connected with the people there but mostly with myself. I learned a lot of scientific things about psychology but also about art and the correlation between them. We talked about the importance of taking care of our inner child. About the place, this was amazing and I would love to go there again. I played, laughed, cried, felt creative, wrote poems and came close to myself. The most special moment for me was the day of expression when I wrote a poem about myself and made a video, in which I dance with a view of the lake behind. I feel so grateful for this experience and thank you so much to those who helped make this program happen! - María Sofronidou.
