A few weeks ago, we helped the Asociacion Carreteras Segundarias run an international training course as part of the project called "Inventaciones". Inventaciones is a multi-event project, which was developed to help social workers throughout Andalusia. The aim of the project is to help increase youth participation, and the international participants in the project, from Poland and Portugal came to share best practices with the participants from Spain.
On the first day, after some fun icebreakers organized by us, the work was mainly focused on introducing the project and there was an extended brainstorming session for ideas on how to improve the project and how to increase its impact.
In the afternoon, we visited a youth center in Las Gabias, a town just next to Granada and met with some of the local youth who told us about their own initiatives that they are working on. For example, we heard from their recently started board game club!
Afterwards, the international participants of the project told us about how they work with their organizations and what kind of challenges they face when trying to impact the lives of young people. Hopefully everyone picked up some useful lessons for the continuation of their projects!
On the second day, we started by visiting the Andalusian Youth Institute and the Diputación de Granada to learn more about how the Spanish system of governance, as well as cultural and youth policy are working.
In the Junta de Andalucia we got introduced to a program called "Creando Futuro" from Chema and learned more about the youth policy of Andalucia in general. Finally, we wrapped up the project back at the office with an intense discussion about how to improve things and how the future meetings should go! We will be back working on this project in the spring and the local events will be going on throughout the next months.
