✨ Project Stories – BE AWARE | Basic Synergy Training ✨
From 19 to 28 July 2026, our youth workers took part in the Erasmus+ Basic Synergy “Be Aware” in Măguri-Răcătău, Romania.
💬 What our participant says:
“Reflecting on my experience with the ‘Be Aware’ project in Romania, I can say it was an impactful, structured, and deeply challenging journey.
From the very beginning, the atmosphere was incredible, built by an inspiring group of participants, an amazing setting, and a powerful theme. However, the methodology of non-formal education used here was unlike anything I had experienced before.
The topic of awareness was explored and unpacked from multiple angles. The most profound takeaway for me was the growing realization that we are the creators of our own destiny; we always have a choice, and we must take full accountability for whatever results follow.
Responsibility and choice were concepts I was already exploring in my personal life, and this training provided both answers and fresh, unexpected perspectives. It was an intense experience, but one that truly expanded my mindset.”
Over ten days, participants explored self-awareness, resilience, personal responsibility, and reflective practice through non-formal education and experiential learning. The training encouraged youth workers to recognise their own behaviour patterns and limiting beliefs, question established perspectives, and develop a deeper understanding of how their choices and attitudes can influence both their personal lives and their work with young people.
“Be Aware” created a space for reflection, personal development, and meaningful growth, strengthening competences that participants can bring into their future youth work and everyday lives.
A big thank you to the organisers, trainers, facilitators, and all the participants who contributed to making this such an intense and meaningful learning experience! ✨
🇪🇺 The project was organised by MATRISZ and funded by the European Union.
