Building Resilient Communities: Youth Work and Natural Disasters

Aim

To create a space for reflection, identification, and analysis of how youth work can contribute to building community resilience against natural disasters while empowering young people to take action.

Objectives

• Raise awareness on climate change and its impact on young people.
• Equip youth workers with tools to support communities before, during, and after disasters.
• Foster collaboration and Erasmus+/Youth initiatives to tackle disaster-related challenges.
• Strengthen the capacity of youth organizations in disaster preparedness and response.

Target Group

• Youth workers, trainers, and educators.
• Representatives of youth organizations and NGOs.
• Young leaders and activists passionate about climate resilience.
• Individuals interested in Erasmus+/Youth projects on disaster management.

Important to know

• The working language will be (international) English. Your English does not have to be perfect, but you need to be able to follow presentations and have discussions in English.
• You will be by default accommodated in twin rooms (a great opportunity to get to know a colleague youth worker better), but if you have a specific reason to have a single room, we can cater for that.
