For professional development, participants plan, implement a 3-day camp for youngsters with fewer opportunities, and then evaluate it. They use all the
knowledge they learned in the first training and also new ones that might newcomers can share. The international team will work with 25 youngsters in a frame of a
3 days "camp". They will receive a profound preparation with self-experience outdoor parts before the on-the-job experience of how to design a workshop for them. Through the experiential learning method and tools, participants have the opportunity to try out new techniques they have learned. After the camp for the youngsters participants and trainers have the opportunity to close their learning process: to give feedback, to reflect and assess, share learning outcomes and see the growth of their competencies as youth workers. They also have room to plan and create connections with each other. All of the above-mentioned aims are supported by the use of different self-expression and reflection methods.
