Efraimia Chouma, Social Worker
I am writing to express my keen interest in training mobility course (Creative youth workers 'Network for inclusion')
As a final-year Social Work student at Hellenic Mediterranean University, I am eager to apply my theoretical knowledge and skills in a professional setting.
My experience as a volunteer with the Red Cross and as the local vice president of the ESN HMU chapter has developed my empathy, leadership, and organizational skills. Additionally, a semester-long Erasmus exchange program in Poland allowed me to broaden my cultural horizons and acquire adaptability and intercultural communication skills.
In parallel with my studies, I have attended a series of seminars covering a wide range of topics, from digital marketing to inclusion and social phenomena. These experiences have provided me with a comprehensive skill set and a strong interest in innovative approaches to social work.
I am particularly interested in programs that focus on youth development and empowerment. I believe that young people can be powerful agents of change and I am eager to contribute to initiatives that support their growth and well-being.
I believe that with this course I'm going to gain more knowledge about the things that I'm interested to.

Aims of the training course
Our goal is to promote collaboration and creativity among 20 experienced youth workers from the partner organisation who are passionate about making a difference in their communities. The Seminar will address the common challenges faced by youth workers and create opportunities for collaboration in the youth field. The participants will develop strategies to create supportive environments for the youth they work with, exchange best practices, experiences, learn and test creative, innovative methods.
Participants will develop a youth-work network to inspire and empower each other to find creative solutions to the challenges of working with vulnerable young people. By sharing knowledge and resources, participants will be better equipped to develop sustainable local and international projects that meet the needs of our communities.
Additionally, the Seminar will explore the process of obtaining Erasmus accreditation, which opens doors to implementing international projects and facilitates the continuous professional development of youth workers and young people alike.
Main objective of the Seminar:Creation and consolidation of an international network, based on non-formal, creative methods and a common strategy in the 10 partner NGOs, to serve as support and inspiration for youth workers to develop local, national and international projects in a sustainable way, using more creative and innovative methods.
The results of the Seminar aim at 2 aspects:1. Creating a common strategy (name, visions, objectives, common values) for the international network we are developing together with the partners in this project.2. Testing and choosing creative and effective methods on which our network will be based in working with young people aged 13-30 from vulnerable communities.
