I'M THE CAPTAIN OF MY SOUL - A journey into full potential

Training Course

18-26 September 2023 | Vinci, Italy

It is a TC offering Youth workers a process of self development and discover of the full potential, to transmit to their youth through art, creativity and psychological tools and methods and through the powerful frame of the Hero’s journey.

Disclaimer: Before reading further be aware that this training will be packed with emotional content, many sharing moments and being offline. Ask yourself if you are ready for that challenge and take that into consideration when applying.

This project is planned like follow-up, upgrade and continuation of the previous trainings "Under pressure" and "Take a walk on the wild side" like a unique and specialised path on mental health and self-development, through new and different tools and methods.

We chose to center our program around a strong referring point, based on archetypes, to show that daily obstacles and difficulties are part of the story of mankind from all the times, in a "continuum" till now.

We chose to work on the healing metaphors of "Hero's journey", developed by James Campbell.

The TC will follow the Hero's Journey structure, divided in 4 stages: Departure, Initiation, Transformation, Return.

Each day we will propose artistic/creative activities challenging participants in a path of self-discovery, facing their fears in a transformative metaphoric journey to embrace their identity, recognizing their talents and potential, empowering their resilience and their emotional skills.

METHODS

The program will incorporate archetypes, artistic and emotional expression through various tools and methods, including creative writing (photo narration), eye-collection, stories from artists' lives, Transactional Analysis elements, empathic communication and active listening, outdoor activities, evaluation, self-assessment, and intercultural activities.

OBJECTIVES

1. Empower youth worker competencies by providing them with psychological and creative approaches to mental health, especially on a relational level, to support young people facing mental health challenges;

2. Develop meaningful insights to nourish resilience through the metaphors of Hero's journey in a transformatve process of change and of free expression of the inner potential;

3. Provide tools and methods for facing and embracing vulnerability and crisis, empowering the capacity to cope with unexpected situations
