The focus of this training course is on »mental health and resilience in youth work«, a topic that has become increasingly important in light of recent global challenges such as the pandemic, social instability, and economic uncertainties. This course aims to provide youth workers with a comprehensive understanding of mental health, resilience-building strategies, and the support structures available at both national and European levels.
Throughout the course, participants will explore a variety of practical methods and tools designed to promote mental well-being among young people. By sharing experiences and discussing best practices, we will focus on strengthening resilience, fostering mental awareness, and creating supportive environments for youth.

International training courses in the international educational and youth work field offer diverse opportunities for educators, youth workers and volunteers to enhance their skills and knowledge on a global scale. These courses typically cover pedagogical techniques, curriculum development, and educational technology, fostering a cross-cultural perspective.
Participants engage in collaborative learning, gaining insights into varied teaching methodologies, youth engagement strategies, and cultural nuances. Ultimately, these programs equip educators and youth workers with the tools to create more inclusive and effective learning environments and youth development initiatives.
The EJBM regularly offers various international training courses in Magdeburg with different topics and learning objectives.
EJBM training courses are primarily aimed at professionals who are currently actively involved in youth work. Volunteers in the field are also invited to attend. If there are more applications than places available, a pre-selection procedure will take place.
