Enhancing the Impact of Non-Formal Education (NFE) in Empowering Youth as Active Contributors to Society
The “Power of Non-Formal Education” is an invigorating training course designed to empower participants through hands-on learning experiences.

Reevaluate daily practices in youth work.
Understand the principles of NFE within Erasmus+ and its impact on program development.
