In this training we want to focus on Living Learning (the positive synonym for non-formal learning), explore how young people and youth workers learn through Youth in Action projects and optimize the learning process. Some of the questions we set out to answer are: · How can these activities be better prepared and carried out in order to achieve the highest learning outcomes and the biggest impact? · How can we support learning from new, unusual and not anticipated situations? · How can we create situations in which the participants feel that their desire to learn and their burning questions are valued?
