Infopack: Pass It Forward Info sheet

What if young people could be the ones leading real change in their communities?
Pass it Forward is an inspiring training course that brings together youth workers and active young people from six different countries to explore how we can promote inclusion, advocate for human rights, and build more just and supportive societies. This isn’t just a training — it’s a ripple-effect experience designed to multiply impact.

The program focuses on key themes such as:

  • Inclusion and equality

  • Human rights and mental health

  • Creative tools for youth work

  • Self-expression, advocacy, and mindful leadership

Participants will take part in interactive workshops led by experienced trainers, exchange perspectives with international peers, and gain hands-on tools to work with young people. The goal is not only to learn but also to pass the knowledge forward, creating positive change on a broader scale.

The setting

This course takes place in a peaceful rural area — Mrachenik, a small village in central Bulgaria. Far from distractions, participants will reconnect with nature, explore mindful living, and enjoy a back-to-basics lifestyle that supports reflection and creativity.

Accommodation

Accommodation is provided in shared tents (2–3 people per tent). Each tent is equipped with a 10 cm foam mattress, pillow, mattress cover, and pillowcase.
Facilities include:

  • 6 toilets

  • 3 showers

  • A fully equipped kitchen

  • Campfire space for evening gatherings
    You’re also welcome to bring your own tent if you prefer to stay alone.

Who can join?

We welcome participants 18 years and older, who are either active youth workers or simply interested in social change and youth work. No previous experience is required – just motivation and openness to learn and contribute.
