How can youth workers support young people when words are not enough?

Through the PACT project, we are exploring how Psychological First Aid can be combined with creative techniques such as art, movement, theatre, storytelling, journaling and reflection.

The aim is not to turn youth workers into therapists, but to give them practical tools to create safer spaces, listen with empathy, support emotional expression and recognise when further help is needed.

Across our international trainings in Moldova, Armenia and Georgia, youth workers from different countries came together to learn, practise and exchange ideas on how emotional support can become more accessible, creative and responsible.

Through the PACT project, we are exploring practical and creative ways to strengthen emotional support in youth work. The project combines Psychological First Aid with creative techniques such as art, movement, theatre, storytelling, journaling, grounding and self-care.

These methods help youth workers create safer spaces, listen with empathy, support emotional expression and recognise when young people may need further help.

PACT is not about replacing professional therapy. It is about giving youth workers tools to respond with care, responsibility and confidence.

Because sometimes, support starts with a safe space, a creative activity and someone who truly listens.

On 28 July in Vilnius, we brought together 12 participants from 7 organisations for a PACT local workshop on "Assertive Communication and Conflict Resolution". 💬🤝

Through practical activities, teamwork and reflection, participants explored how to communicate clearly, stay calm in conflict and find more constructive ways to respond to challenging situations.

One of the key takeaways? Working together makes a difference.

This week, our consortium gathered in Georgia for the International Partners Meeting of the PACT Project. Bringing together partners from different countries, the meeting was an opportunity to review our progress, exchange experiences, tackle challenges, and plan the next steps of our journey.
Beyond the agenda and work sessions, these meetings remind us that successful international cooperation is built on trust, open dialogue, and shared commitment. Every discussion, idea, and perspective brings us closer to creating a greater impact together.
A huge thank you to our Georgian partners for their warm hospitality and for hosting such a productive and inspiring meeting. We leave with new ideas, renewed motivation, and an even stronger partnership.
The work continues—and we're excited for what's ahead! 🌍🤝

There’s something deeply grounding about working with our hands 🤍
In the workshop led by , we stepped away from perfection and into presence. Through intuitive hand painting, we allowed ourselves to feel, express, and gently release what we’ve been carrying inside — without judgment, without expectations.
No brushes, no rules, no “beautiful outcome” to chase. Just color, touch, and emotion flowing freely.
Each mark told a story. Each movement created space.
Thank you to everyone who showed up with openness and courage. ✨
