Santa Barbara is a Training Course aiming to show the importance of personal and
family relationship in young people’s future by self-reflection
and making correlations between personal life and social and
political engagement. The TC will provide a platform for the
comparison of family traditions and related topics (e.g. gender,
parents-children or sibling’s relationship, marriage, sex etc.
issues) in different countries and will definitely bring together
the variety of attitudes from different European countries and
will contribute to the open-mindedness of the participants. We
intend to combine non-formal education methods,
psychological practices and meditation techniques in project
work. The TC will gather young leaders, social and youth
workers, especially dealing with youngsters with fewer
opportunities. The expected result of the project is that
participants develop skills and ready to use techniques for
youth leaders in understanding and supportive coaching of young people with
fewer opportunities.
The objectives of the Training Course are the following:
 To raise the awareness on the importance of personal life and
relationship in family.
 To share the moral principles and traditions from different cultures.
 To motivate participants for self-analysis.
 To improve the self-esteem of young people.
 To get awareness of the connection between personal and social life.
 To inspire young people to be the change and to make the change.
