WANDERLUST

What is Wanderlust?

WANDERLUST is an Erasmus + KA1 project, which aims to address youth workers who want to work with resilience and wellbeing approaches and tools during the two times 10 days residential learning activities & the HEARTLAND online course participation.

The project was born inspired by the “HEART” method – the synergy of outdoor experiential education and art methodologies.

Wanderlust aims are to support

recognition of wellbeing development reached at an individual and professional level thus building a positive self-confidence of youth workers and their young target groups;
recognition and visibility of positive influences of resilience within non-formal learning and youth work context in general.
to involve “disadvantaged youth workers” (early symptoms of burnout and exhaustion)
support the longevity and satisfactory youth work careers and paths
to create innovative adaptations and develop local youth work through a combination of safer, more inclusive approaches to youth work that is accessible to disadvantaged - mild mental health related young people
