Project Update: Trainings for Professional Athletes Now Underway!

This autumn, our project is rolling out two dedicated training programmes to support professional athletes in building the skills they need for life beyond sport

Training on Digital Skills for Professional Athletes
Athletes are strengthening practical digital competences — from MS Word, Excel & PowerPoint to Business Intelligence, AI tools for productivity, digital collaboration platforms, and cybersecurity essentials — all designed to boost their readiness for today's labour market.

Training on Transversal Skills for Professional Athletes
In parallel, athletes are also developing key transversal skills such as communication, teamwork & collaboration, problem-solving, time & task management, and employability skills — helping them transfer what they've built on the field into new professional opportunities.

Both trainings are being delivered in multiple groups running through September, October and November, giving athletes across Europe the flexibility to join at a time that works for them.

Sport builds incredible skills — our goal is to help athletes carry them into their next career chapter. Stay tuned for more updates as the trainings progress!

Have you ever looked at a problem in your community and thought, "Someone should do something about it"?

What if that someone was you?
As part of the RURAL 2.0 – Expanding Youth Engagement in Rural Communities project, we continue our educational video series with Module 9: Organising Community-Led Initiatives in Rural Areas.
Positive change rarely starts with a large budget or a perfect plan. It begins with local people who recognise a need, come together around a shared vision, and decide to take the first step. In this module, you will discover:
-what community-led initiatives are;
-how to identify local needs and opportunities;
-how to build a motivated team;
-how to plan activities and manage available resources;
-why volunteering, collaboration and sustainability are essential for lasting impact.

Whether you want to improve a public space, organise an environmental campaign, support vulnerable groups or simply make your village a better place to live, every meaningful initiative starts with one idea and one person willing to act.
Your community already has its greatest resource: its people.

"Confident Trails: Design, Deliver, Reflect" was an Erasmus+ training course organised by Outward Bound Croatia, bringing together 20 youth workers from 7 countries for 5 days of outdoor, non-formal learning in Lika, Croatia. The goal: building facilitation, group management, and safety skills for delivering outdoor education to young people.

Participant's reflection

"Within our project, the outdoor activities gave us far more than moments of fun. They were an opportunity to learn through experience, to step out of our comfort zone, and to discover new things about ourselves. The outdoor activities helped us break away from our usual routine, develop our communication and teamwork skills, and, most importantly, create new memories and connections. An important part of the project was also learning the role of organiser. We had the chance to propose ideas, prepare activities, coordinate groups, and take responsibility for the smooth running of the sessions. We learned that being an organiser isn't just about having an idea, but about knowing how to turn it into an activity, working with different people, managing unforeseen situations, and trusting your own decisions. In the end, after the five days of activities, we developed our organisational skills, gained more confidence in ourselves, and came away with a strong desire to take part in and get involved in future projects."

Bringing Europe closer to young people

We were happy to answer the invitation to join “La Brâncuși Acasă”, the Scouts Camp bringing together more than 400 Scouts from Romania and abroad, in Arcani, Gorj.

As Scout Society, a Eurodesk Contact Point in Gorj, we saw this as a great opportunity not only to contribute to the camp’s educational programme, but also to introduce young people to the opportunities that Erasmus+ can offer.

Through a series of escape-room-style puzzle activities, we invited the scouts to explore topics related to culture and the environment, combining learning, teamwork, curiosity and fun.

At the same time, we used the opportunity to talk about Erasmus+ opportunities and programmes, encouraging young people to discover the possibilities available to them beyond their local communities — from learning and volunteering to international exchanges and new experiences across Europe.

We believe that opportunities for young people should be accessible, engaging and inspiring, and that sometimes the best way to learn is through an experience that brings people together.

A big thank you to the organisers for the invitation and for creating a space where education, adventure, culture, nature and international opportunities could come together.

We were proud to be part of this experience and to contribute, in our own way, to making Gorj a place where young people can discover both their local heritage and the opportunities Europe has to offer.

What nobody tells you about non-formal education? It's not "the easy version" of learning — it's a completely different way of growing.

No exams, no grades, no fixed curriculum — just real activities, real challenges, and skills you actually end up using.

Scout Society hosted the TEAM project's 2nd Transnational Meeting in Târgu-Jiu!

TEAM – Together Everyone Achieves More is an Erasmus+ Sport project bringing together five partner organisations from Italy, Romania, Greece, and Cyprus, with one shared goal: using sport as a tool to boost youth employability and social inclusion.

Following the kick-off meeting in Matera, Italy, this second TPM brought our partners together to review our progress so far, share lessons learned from the sports-based employability events already delivered, and fine-tune our plans for the months ahead: the TEAM Sports-Based Training Guidebook, our employability video series, and the job-shadowing and networking opportunities that connect young people directly with local businesses.

Thank you to all our partners for a productive and inspiring meeting!

Ever actually read the tag inside your clothes?
It's basically a cheat sheet for fiber content, care instructions, and where your garment came from — most of us just never learned how to decode it.

Swipe through for a 60-second breakdown of every symbol you'll actually see on a label, from washing and bleaching to drying, ironing, and certifications like GOTS and OEKO-TEX.

Save this for your next shopping trip, and share it with a friend who still throws everything in the dryer on high heat.

This post is part of our project ReThink Fashion : a youth-led initiative co-funded by the European Union through the European Solidarity Corps.
