Gantalcalá is pleased to invite you to `Take care´, a training course through the KA151 action, which aims to improve the health and well-being of youth workers and indirectly of young people themselves by raising awareness about physical, mental and emotional selfcare and acquiring the tools to do so. The idea is that participants experience the benefits of the proposed practices in themselves and in turn create strategies to promote them among young people.

For this we will use, among others: meditation, yoga, chi-kung, conscious eating and food-medicine, reflexology, magnetic therapy, as well as exercises based on biodance. These self-care practices will not only improve their health and help them to achieve inner peace, but will also contribute to making them aware of their full potential, raise their self-confidence, self-knowledge, self-expression and communication with others….

At the same time, through reflection and group work, using different methods of non-formal education, such as storytelling, gamification, theatrical and/or musical performance and the use of social networks, participants will create strategies to convey the importance of self-care and its implementation to the young people around them or with whom they work on a regular basis.

 

OBJECTIVES:

  • To reflect on and discuss health disorders (physical, mental and emotional), addictions and other social problems of young people today.
  • To raise awareness among youth workers of the importance of self-care for personal, family, work and social well-being.
  • To provide youth workers with resources of their own with physical, mental and emotional self-care to be able to apply them in the work with young people.
  • Establish new lines of thinking and behaving in day today situations and emotions, to avoid, among others, stress, anxiety, burnout… and achieve a long-term wellbeing.
  • Create strategies to raise awareness and put into practice self-care tools and actions in young people through non-formal education methods, to be implemented both locally and in future projects of the Erasmus + Programme.
  • To increase the social participation and active citizenship of young people through self-care and the improvement of their personal health and well-being.
