Es werden nur noch Teilnehmende aus Deutschland gesucht. / We are currently seeking participants from Germany only.
Join us from 10–16 November 2025 for an international training course for youth workers and educators. Together, we’ll explore how early social expectations shape gender roles — in youth communities, workplaces, and beyond. Through creative and participatory methods such as games, mural painting and filmmaking, participants will learn to recognise and challenge stereotypes, promote inclusion, and use art and dialogue as tools for social change.
This training course focuses on gender inequality in everyday life — from early social influences and expectations to gender roles in youth communities and professional environments. Participants will explore stereotypes related to jobs, hobbies, and appearance through interactive and creative methods such as card games, board games, simulation exercises and group discussions supported by facts and data.
Through mural painting and participatory filmmaking, participants will use artistic and community-based methods to express messages about equality, inclusion and social change.
The training aims to deepen understanding of gender equality, strengthen the ability to recognise and challenge stereotypes, and empower participants to apply creative, participatory approaches in their own youth work. In the final stage, participants will develop individual and group action plans to bring the outcomes and inspiration of the training into their local communities and organisations.
The training course is open to everyone aged 18 and above who is active or interested in youth work, gender education, or creative community projects – whether professionally, part-time or on a voluntary basis. Participants should be motivated to take part actively, exchange experiences in an international group and explore new perspectives and creative methods related to gender equality and inclusion.
A good command of English is helpful but not mandatory – mutual understanding will be supported through facilitation and non-formal communication methods.

In order to provide a full-circle educational experience, we intend to provide experiential education and leisure offers in accordance to our educational programmes. This ESC volunteering team will be collecting different options for experiential education and leisure offers, analyse them with respect to their suitability and develop action plans for their implementation. Furthermore, the ESC volunteers will have the opportunity to experience international youth work by supporting the implementation of our Erasmus+ YOUTH activities and to get in touch with the local community via supporting a local Christmas market.
During the short-term ESC program, participants will receive preparatory and ongoing training to ensure a meaningful and impactful experience. At the beginning, an on-arrival orientation will be provided, covering key topics such as intercultural communication, project goals, health and safety, and ESC values. Throughout the program, there will be regular reflection sessions, skills workshops, and mentorship support to help participants develop personally and professionally. Specific training will also be provided depending on the tasks involved (environmental awareness etc.)
Volunteers will be accommodated in shared rooms with generally four people (towels and sheets are provided) at the European Youth Educational Centre Magdeburg. Since our facilities can also be booked by outside groups, the living arrangements can be subject to change due to bookings by outside groups. The volunteers will be provided with food to prepare meals with the group (unless meals are provided by the organisation) as well as 7€ pocket money per day.

In dieser deutsch-französischen Jugendbegegnung steht das Zusammenspiel von Sprache, Theater und interkultureller Erfahrung im Mittelpunkt. Ziel ist es, mit theaterpädagogischen Methoden die eigene Ausdrucksfähigkeit zu stärken, Vertrauen in die Anwendung der französischen Sprache zu gewinnen und gemeinsam kreative Ideen auf die Bühne zu bringen.
Durch Sprachanimation, Theaterübungen, Teambuilding-Aktivitäten und kreative Gruppenprozesse entwickeln die Teilnehmenden praktische Kommunikationsstrategien, um sich auf Französisch (und Deutsch) verständlich zu machen – ohne Leistungsdruck, aber mit viel Spaß und echtem Austausch.
Die Woche bietet außerdem Einblicke in das Leben in Frankreich: bei gemeinsamen Mahlzeiten, bei Workshops sowie bei Ausflügen nach Beaugency und Orléans.
