How can I see my own uniqueness?

identity, authenticity, courage to be ourselves

About the Project

We believe that authenticity, vulnerability and courage are keys to healthy relationships, communities and societies. Young people nowadays are easily influenced by social media and they are creating unrealistic images of themselves, where they want to look as somebody with a perfect life, which very often does not reflect reality and it is easy to actually not fit in. This might result in loneliness, feeling of being not understood, depression and isolation. At the same time it might lead to unhealthy and addictive behaviours of youth.

what does it provide

With this training, we want to provide youth workers with personal experience and practical tools, methods and activities that they will be able to use in their work, with intention to support young people, especially those from vulnerable groups, in accepting their identities and uniqueness as something valuable, create a solid base for creating their lives and careers, being courageous and at peace, daring to express themselves in their communities and participate in the society.

WHERE

THE VENUE

During the programme you will live together with other participants in a group accommodation at the youth education and cultural centre of Collegium Grafenbach, located in a tiny town of Grafenbach, in one of the sunniest places of Austria, in the popular rural recreational region (see on the map). It is in a remote area in a beautiful nature which provides peace and perfect conditions for calming one’s mind, concentrating and creating connections with others.

You will be in shared rooms, with shared showers and toilets. You will be taking part in light housework, as part of a learning process in a group environment.

We will have meals 3 times a day, smaller coffee breaks will be available during the day.

We have a no alcohol and no drugs policy with intention to allow space for connection with yourself and with the ones around you.
