BeWell

Training Course

1-10 September 2022 | Dolcé (VR), Italy

We aim to create more resilient youth workers through connecting the mind with emotions, body, community and nature.

The training course will be a space where participants will be guided and invited to be active and authentic, to connect the mind with emotions and body, to take challenges, to explore openness and vulnerability in order to find their inner strength, to develop empathy, to cultivate their inspiring and transforming presence in the community.

Especially in current times the topic of mental health is crucial to be targeted. The main aim of “BeWell” is to help youth workers to grow solid roots of wellness, prevent occupational burnout and its effects in forms of depression or anxiety. Our aim is to show youth workers how to care about themselves, their mental health, how to prioritise their health from other tasks and how to teach it to the youth they work with.

Main topics

– Vulnerability: connecting with our inner self, beyond daily masks and armors

– Body-mind connection: learning through embodiment of concepts, attitudes, qualities

– Creativity: encouraging body and mind to explore and express the inner beauty waiting to be awakened

– Connection, inclusion and transformation: cultivating empathy and carefulness towards others and environment, becoming a source of positive transformation for the community

Methodologies

– Somatic and kinesthetic learning, holistic based education and body expression

– Connection with inner and outer nature,  nature as an inspiration for our lives

– Mindfulness, Emotional and Stress management techniques

– Creative expression, cultivating the deep imagination

– Movement and contact improvisation

– Organisation and planning skills

Who is this training for?

This training is designed for youth workers, trainers, educators, NGO leaders, and more generally for people who are willing to:

- explore the expressive potential of the body through contact improvisation and dance
- develop a strong presence through performative arts
- spend time outdoor for physical activities, no matter the weather 
- foster their sense of community through ritual based practices
- gather new tools and inspirations  for their work and activities with youngsters
