Curious about our recent “Healthy Lifestyle Pathways” training course? Here’s a look back at a week dedicated to well-being and empowerment!
From October 28 to November 3, 2024, 30 youth workers from Romania, Greece, Spain, and Morocco gathered in Marrakesh, Morocco, for Healthy Lifestyle Pathways (HeLP ), organized under Babilon Travel NGO’s Youth Accreditation 2024. This training course aimed to equip youth workers with tools to encourage healthy habits and independent living among young people with fewer opportunities.
About the Training
The “Healthy Lifestyle Pathways” training was a blend of theory, hands-on workshops, and networking opportunities, designed to strengthen the skills and knowledge of youth workers. Participants explored well-being practices, ways to foster independence, and methods to engage youth with impactful digital content. Each participant left with toolboxes and booklets filled with both theoretical and practical resources they can use to support young people in their communities.
Beyond training sessions, participants experienced the vibrant culture of Marrakesh, creating strong connections with each other while exploring local sights and traditions.
What’s Next?
With new skills and insights, our youth workers are excited to share their learnings with their communities. We’ll soon be releasing a short film and practical resources developed during the course, so stay tuned!

We’re excited to share the outcome of our “Low-Ropes Training for Youth Workers,” part of the Inclusive Evolution 2024 project. This training, held at the beautiful Straja Resort in Romania, aimed to empower youth workers with practical outdoor education methods, focusing on social inclusion and personal development. Over five days, participants from various countries engaged in activities designed to build essential skills like teamwork, leadership, and problem-solving.
The hands-on approach, combined with theoretical insights, provided a dynamic learning experience that participants found both challenging and enriching. The low-ropes activities, trust-building exercises, and collaborative challenges pushed participants out of their comfort zones, fostering a strong sense of community and growth. By the end of the program, participants were equipped with tools and methodologies to apply these outdoor activities in their work with young people facing fewer opportunities.

In September 2024, Babilon Travel NGO hosted a Low-Ropes Training in the Carpathian Mountains, Romania, as part of the Inclusive Evolution 2024 project. The training, held from September 2nd to 6th, gathered youth workers from Romania, TĂĽrkiye, North Macedonia, and Serbia to enhance their skills in engaging young people with fewer opportunities through outdoor activities.
Participants focused on developing coordination, cooperation, problem-solving, and leadership skills through low-ropes challenges. Participants were guided through hands-on activities and workshops that explored the dynamics of group work and the potential of adventure-based learning to promote inclusivity. The initiative also emphasized using outdoor learning to promote physical activity, inclusion, and personal development in marginalized youth. Certified trainers guided the youth workers through workshops that connected theory with practical experience.
The setting at Straja Resort enhanced teamwork and intercultural exchange, with participants sharing good practices, traditional food and experiences during evening activities. The final day allowed participants to brainstorm future projects and apply what they learned in their communities.
