"Young Soul" was implemented from 23.03 to 31.03.2023 in Kalkara, Malta, and the main objectives were: 

- Appreciate and support the invisible, but existing target group, that can be considered a group with fewer opportunities and definitely with special needs – more mature youth workers, usually staying in their customary conditions in home realities;

- Create proper supportive conditions, to motivate this target group to come out from its comfort zone (including travelling, speaking in English, communicating with younger colleagues);

- Learn from the experience and particular case-studies from this target group;

- Find out the secret of their youth elixir and the secret of long successful careers;

- Let the younger and tuned youth workers to inspire, motivate, update others

with fresh ideas, new tools (including the digital ones), modern methods.

Hi!!I am Anthi Daniilidou and I experienced the great project called Young Soul. I had some of my most wonderful days in Malta,and I met a lot of amazing and inspiring souls. I also discovered myself throughout the workshops and thought about my passion,my dreams . I also felt very comfortable sharing my feelings to the group and I felt really interested  to hear theirs. We also had great moments while exploring the city and dancing in the lunch breaks. I suggest this kind of project to eeeveryone. Words cannot describe the exact feeling and learning of this process. A big thank you the least a can say! – Anthi.

My experience at Young Soul was truly amazing. I met very interesting people from other countries and formed a lot of new friendships. The project was able to educate people of all ages with many different types of Non-Formal Education. I learned a lot of new methods about working with young people and I must say I learned a lot more about myself too. The whole group, alongside our hosts and our trainer, took trips to almost every place in Malta and I can for sure say I had tons of fun every single day. I hope I will have the opportunity to join another project in the future! – Kostis

The Erasmus+ training course, Young Soul in Malta, was the 1st project I attended and I couldn’t be happier to participate! There, I met amazing youth workers from different generations, who were truly inspiring. I learned how different generations of youth workers all around Europe are operating, what are the challenges they are facing and how we can solve them together by supporting each other.

We became friends with the people at the project on the very first day, and by the end, we were a bonded group of friends that for sure will meet again. Our trainer Kristina was incredible, providing us with qualitative and interactive sessions and of course, our hosts couldn’t be more welcoming!

I returned from Malta inspired to continue my work as a youth worker and find my own creative ways to make a difference! I wish I was still there :) - Suzanna
