Fotoessa had the great privilege to participate in the Erasmus+ Youth Worker Mobility program: \u201cChange is a Journey\u201d – Irish Youth Workers in Greece, from 15 to 21 of April \u201923. We organised and offered our eight guests tailor made workshops, innovative activities and intercultural trainings, on site visits and cultural exchanges with a variety of Greek Civil Society members who work with a wide range of youth in diverse ways, both from our local community, in Mesogeia region, and from the city of Athens. We presented our fellow Irish colleagues a clear view of Greek experiences, challenges and best practices in the field of youth work within our Civil Society. The program focused on three major targets: 1) collaborating in teams, 2) communicating meaningfully and 3) displaying intercultural sensitivity. Navigating through these targets, all team participants engaged to heartwarming self expression and communication and achieved an authentic bonding with each other through in depth discussions and truthful intercultural dialogue about common challenges and visions. Both Greek and Irish participants have forged their collaboration skills, gained a better understanding of European values and conditions, while enhancing their intercultural awareness so as to continue and improve their services for youth.<\/span><\/p>\n
