Speak Up! Training Course, September 11-17, 2024, Carei, Romania
The Speak Up Training Course was a direct response to the expressed desire among youth workers to enhance their public speaking skills and foster personal and professional growth. Organized by the Beyond Association-Romania, the training brought together 30 participants from eight countries: Portugal, Hungary, Romania, Spain, Jordan, Italy, Turkey, and Bulgaria.
The course delved into key topics such as anxiety management, resilience building, and effective communication strategies. Participants learned to recognize and manage their emotions, transforming anxiety into a positive force for personal growth. Additionally, the training explored Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) techniques, providing valuable insights into enhancing communication and interpersonal skills.
Beyond the personal development aspects, the training offered participants the opportunity to explore the local municipality of Carei, gaining insights into its history, culture, and unique identity.
This project was co-financed by the European Union and served as a valuable platform for fostering international collaboration and empowering youth workers to become effective communicators and agents of change.
