A 9-day journey in Sicily designed to strengthen youth workers through nature-based and experiential learning.
"The Sound of Nature" is a direct response to the digital overload and stress faced by modern youth workers. We aim to re-integrate nature, embodiment, and creativity into youth work practice.
We are looking for motivated participants ready to dive deep into experiential learning.
Priority given to participants with fewer opportunities and those working in formal/non-formal education settings with a strong motivation to apply nature-based approaches.
Using natural environments as active learning spaces.
Well-being, emotional awareness & burnout prevention.
Green youth work & environmental awareness.
Specific goals of the training course:
Rediscovering nature as a space for well-being, reflection, and inspiration.
Equipping participants with non-formal, nature-based and creative methodologies.
Strengthening emotional regulation and self-care skills for sustainable youth work.
Increasing confidence in facilitating outdoor and experiential activities.
Fostering exchange of practices and long-term cooperation among organisations.
Nestled between the majestic Mount Etna and the Mediterranean coast.
The venue is centred around a historic villa surrounded by extensive green areas. It offers a strong sense of privacy, creating an atmosphere of calm beauty fully immersed in greenery.
Located in Carruba (Giarre – Catania). Despite being immersed in a quiet rural area, the venue is easily accessible by public transportation.
