From the snowy forests of Likani 🇬🇪 to the green hills of Dilijan 🇦🇲, I had the opportunity to participate in both parts of the Erasmus+ project “Youth Workers Go to Theatre” — a powerful experience that combined applied theatre, Nonviolent Communication, and psychodrama to address youth work challenges in the post-pandemic era.

Over the course of two immersive training courses (Feb & June 2025), 30 youth workers from 🇦🇲 🇬🇪 🇭🇺 🇷🇴 🇫🇷 🇺🇦 came together to:
✔️ Transform conflicts into opportunities for growth
✔️ Practice empathy, active listening & self-awareness
✔️ Learn and apply theatre methods like Theatre of the Oppressed
✔️ Design and deliver non-formal workshops
✔️ Build a cross-border community of practice

This experience deepened my understanding of mental health, peaceful communication, and the role of art as a tool for transformation — both for young people and those who guide them.🌿 Special thanks to EMINA Foundation and all partner organisations for making this possible. Now it’s time to bring this energy to our local communities 💫
