MIND, BODY & MESSAGE – tools to increase youth workers impact – second phase BODY

BODY is a 9-days training course and is the second phase of the MBM project of Qualitimpact Informal Group. In this TC we train body awareness to synchronize content and expression. We train entrepreneurial skills by dance techniques.

About the project:
MIND, BODY & MESSAGE builds integrity in NGO communication, improves entrepreneurship of youth workers, supports cross-sectoral networking to create and maintain recognition and support systems for youth work.

The MIND creates your state. The BODY shapes your way of expression. The MESSAGE delivers your values, purpose and idea to the others. All these three together bring you the dreamed result through awareness using different tools.

The objectives of MIND, BODY & MESSAGE are:
– to share best practice of training and coaching entrepreneurship of youth
– to improve communication and entrepreneurship skills of youth workers
– to build NGO capacities for cross-sectoral networking
– to raise the recognition of non-formal learning and youth work
– to encourage the dissemination and the creation of international projects among local youth NGOs within Erasmus+

About phase 2 – BODY:
“To learn how to play on my own instrument”

– body awareness: breathing, posture, movement, gestures and mimics;

– spatial awareness and coordination: movement in relation to space, time and other people;
– mapping interactions, developing partnerwork & teamwork, ability to dynamically switch roles and positions in a process;
– Body movement – experimenting, testing and practicing as a tool of growth;
