NEW GAME RELEASE: "Shared Year"

What if planning for the future wasn't all about endless discussions, but about creating a shared map of possibilities?

We're thrilled to present Shared Year, a collaborative mapping game developed as part of the Power of Play project. Taking inspiration from participatory and game-based learning approaches, Shared Year helps teams, communities, youth groups and organisations to explore their current reality, identify opportunities and challenges, and transform collective insights into meaningful actions.

Build a shared map, explore opportunities and emerging ideas, surface challenges and tensions safely, strengthen participation and ownership, and create concrete Quests for future action.

Unlike traditional planning tools, Shared Year encourages participants to listen, contribute and co-create without the pressure of debate, competition or finding immediate solutions.

Because sometimes the most important step forward is understanding where we are together.

One of the most anticipated events of the year, the Partnership Building Activity "Power Up The Youth Work Lab", took place from 15–22 May 2026 in Cyprus.

Representatives of more than 10 organisations from Germany, the Netherlands, Austria, Ireland, Poland, Cyprus, Hungary, Lithuania, Italy, and Estonia gathered in Limassol for a week dedicated to building partnerships, sharing ideas, and shaping the future of youth work.

The initiative brought together youth workers, non-formal educators, experts, organisational leaders, and other professionals to strengthen cooperation and co-create the next generation of youth work projects.

Throughout the activity, participants exchanged good practices, explored common challenges, shared innovative tools and methodologies, and engaged in expert masterclasses, networking sessions, bilateral meetings, and collaborative project design laboratories.

Key results of the activity:
- strong international network of organisations, youth workers, educators, and project developers established across Europe.
- Extensive exchange of practices, experiences, educational tools, and innovative ideas.
- Development of new project concepts and partnerships for future cooperation.
- Creation of a portfolio of Erasmus+ project applications and partnership initiatives for upcoming funding deadlines.
- Strengthened commitment to long-term collaboration and resource sharing among participating organisations.

The activity demonstrated once again that meaningful international cooperation, networking, and human connection are among the most powerful drivers of innovation in youth work.

The number of project ideas and emerging partnerships once again proved that together we are better, stronger, and more effective. Even when separated by distance, we can create meaningful change and generate significant impact when we trust one another and work together.

This event was a celebration of professionalism, experience, commitment, and a genuine desire to create a better future through cooperation and shared action.

AI BRIDGE: Connecting Research and Industry for the Future of Work

We are excited to joun an AI BRIDGE project, a new Erasmus+ initiative that aims to strengthen the connection between research, vocational education, and industry through the power of Artificial Intelligence.

Bringing together partners from Italy, Hungary, and Spain, the project will develop and test an innovative professional profile – the Scientific Innovation Connector (SIC) – designed to bridge the gap between universities, research institutions, and companies.

The project officially launched during the Kick-off Meeting in Italy (2–3 December 2025), where partners came together to establish a shared vision, define the operational roadmap, clarify key roles and responsibilities, and set the foundations for successful collaboration. The meeting also focused on participant engagement strategies and the use of hybrid learning and cooperation methodologies that will guide the project implementation over the next 18 months.

Over the course of the project, AI BRIDGE will:
- Analyse labour market needs and collaboration barriers between academia and industry
- Define the skills and competences required for the SIC profile, with a strong focus on AI and digital literacy
-Develop and test AI-powered tools that connect company needs with scientific knowledge and research databases
-Create a modular VET curriculum adaptable across Europe
-Pilot the model with researchers, trainers, and entrepreneurs in real-life scenarios
- Build a European network to support innovation, technology transfer, and future cooperation

Together, we are preparing professionals for the future of work and creating stronger pathways between knowledge creation and practical innovation.

Training course: 'Level Up Your Finances': Gamification and Financial Literacy for Women's Empowerment

This training course took place in Nea Makri, Greece, from 19 to 26 April 2026, bringing together educators, trainers, coaches, mentors, and youth workers from Greece, Germany, Hungary, and Poland.

Financial literacy is about more than just understanding numbers; it is a vital step towards achieving independence, confidence and equal opportunities.

Through the 'Level Up Your Finances' project, participants explored how gamification and non-formal education can make financial learning more accessible, engaging and empowering, particularly for women and those with fewer opportunities.

Throughout the training, participants:

- explored the fundamentals of gamification and game-based learning;
- Discussed the challenges of financial literacy and financial inclusion for women.
- Learnt about player types, game elements and user journeys.
- Designed and developed educational game prototypes focused on financial literacy.
- Worked in international teams to transform complex financial topics into interactive learning experiences.
- Tested, improved and refined game concepts through practical experimentation.
- Shared experiences, educational practices and approaches from different countries and contexts.

The result? A collection of innovative game concepts that will now be further developed, tested in local communities, and adapted to the needs of female learners. These games will contribute to a future toolkit of educational resources that support financial literacy and economic empowerment.

This training was just the start. The next phase will focus on local testing and adaptation, as well as the creation of practical resources that can be used by educators across Europe.

We would like to express our sincere gratitude to all participants for their creativity, commitment, and willingness to explore new approaches to learning and teaching financial literacy.
