Walk the Talk Training Course

Training Course

2-12 May 2025 | Cantabria, Spain

A training course on Leadership that looks at the concept of leadership with a human-centred focus to encourage responsible leadership.

Concretely in the educational field, we find that, both for educators and learners, there is a misuse or misunderstanding of the concept of leadership. In this field, as in others, this can affect the performance and productivity and success of the work within a group due to a lack of understanding each other and of the concept of responsible leadership.

The main aim of the project is to equip youth workers to lead both personal projects and teams effectively, with relevance and sustainability and by learning how to address shifting contexts.

Why should you walk the talk with us?

  • You want to learn how to lead both your personal projects and groups;
  • You want to lead effectively, with a relevant impact and sustainably;
  • You want to enhance your communication, decision-making, and problem solving skills;
  • You want to boost your empathy, your confidence and the confidence of others’;
  • You believe in growth, adaptability, and positive impact;
  • You’re interested in aligning your personal goals with your work.

When and where will you take the lead?

From the 2nd till the 12th of May 2025 (travel days included).

Our project will take place at PAS Coliving nestled in the beautiful rural area of Cantabria, in Villegar de Toranzo.
