Low-Ropes Training for Youth Workers

by | Oct 1, 2024 | Training Course

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, Türkiye, 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.

Babilon Travel NGO continues to be committed to promoting social inclusion, youth empowerment, and sustainability, and this training marks another successful chapter in the organization’s mission to make a lasting impact on young people across Europe.

by | Jul 17, 2024 | Training Course

Babilon Travel NGO recently had the opportunity to participate in a Training for Trainers course on Digital Competences in Lithuania, in alignment with the European Training Strategy (ETS). This experience allowed our team to significantly develop and improve their digital skills while exploring innovative methods to make online learning more engaging. The course emphasized the importance of digital transformation in youth work, providing the participants with practical knowledge and insights.

Throughout the training, we were introduced to various tools and strategies that can revolutionize the way we approach digital learning. The experience was not only educational but also rewarding, as we earned open badges and certificates to mark our progress and achievements.

We thank our partner Awero, formerly known as Nectarus, for coordinating this valuable experience. Their efforts made this training a memorable event, equipping us with the skills and knowledge we are eager to implement in our work and make a positive impact in our community and beyond.
