The training course “What the f*** is Youth Research?” was a unique opportunity for 30 youth workers from Latvia, Poland, Bulgaria, Georgia and Lithuania to delve into the realm of youth research and mapping. The objectives of this course were to equip participants with practical research methods, share good practices in cross-sectorial youth work, provide a basic understanding of research and mapping, and teach hands-on skills in conducting research and mapping tasks.

The participants actively engaged in practical tasks, discussions, and group activities. This dynamic approach ensures not only gaining theoretical knowledge but also applying it in real-life scenarios. Through interactive workshops, presentations and case studies, we developed a deeper understanding of youth research and its relevance to youth work.

One of the most rewarding aspects of Erasmus+ projects is the opportunity to connect with like-minded individuals from different countries, forming a diverse and vibrant community. The shared moments among the participants during the training course created a rich tapestry of experiences, fostering cross-cultural understanding, collaboration, and lifelong friendships.
