Transnational Youth Workers Education | Istanbul, Türkiye

From 24–27 March 2026, as part of the Erasmus+ KA2 project “Youth-Centered Digital Society”, we brought together dedicated youth workers from Türkiye, Italy and Latvia to exchange experiences and strengthen competencies

A highlight of the training was the simulation game on digital anxiety, offering participants a powerful, hands-on experience of the challenges young people face online. This activity opened space for deeper reflection on mental health, online pressure and the need to foster safer and more supportive digital environments.

Through interactive sessions, group collaboration and knowledge-sharing, participants enhanced their skills and reinforced the importance of cooperation and lifelong learning in youth work.

We extend our sincere thanks to our trainers – Gülin Çavuş, Esra Özgür, and Özge Selçuk – for their professionalism, dedication and inspiring facilitation.

This training contributed not only to capacity building, but also to strengthening international partnerships and motivation to create positive impact within local communities.
