🇪🇸 LET’S ESC | Málaga, Spain
From 26 April to 1 May, our youth workers Inessa and Nastya took part in the Erasmus+ Contact Making Seminar “LET’S ESC” in Málaga, Spain. The training brought together youth workers, mentors, volunteer coordinators and NGO representatives from 10+ countries to strengthen cooperation within the European Solidarity Corps (ESC) programme.
During the seminar participants explored:
✨ social inclusion in youth work
✨ European Solidarity Corps opportunities
✨ project planning and partnership building
✨ team building and conflict resolution methods
The programme included interactive workshops, NGO fair sessions, reflection groups, international networking activities and collaborative work on future ESC projects. Participants also took part in an intercultural evening, a city walk in Málaga and a team treasure hunt.
For IZUM, this experience was a valuable opportunity to create new international partnerships and discover new ways of supporting young people through volunteering and inclusion projects.
💡 The biggest takeaway was that meaningful international projects start with strong partnerships, open communication and a shared desire to create opportunities for young people.
Thank you to all participants and partners for an inspiring week in Málaga! 🇪🇺❤️
