From September 22nd to October 1st, Sombor Education Center organized the Erasmus+ training "May the group force be with you(th)!". The training was attended by youth workers, youth leaders and youth coordinators from seven countries: Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Estonia, Poland, Croatia, Kosovo and Turkey. During the training, the participants had the opportunity to exchange experiences and learn more about tools and methods of working with different groups, resolving group conflicts, crisis management, and ways of motivating groups with which we work long-term on a specific topic. The participants had the opportunity to apply all learned methods and tools in practice during the training.

One of the sessions was dedicated to presenting the experiences of associations and organizations that work with young people in the long term. At this session, the panellists were Dejan Đorđić, on behalf of the Centar za pedagoške inicijative, Ivana Barać on behalf of the Sombor Education Center, Jelena Karać on behalf of the Omladinski savez udruženja OPENS and Ivana Novaković, on behalf of the National Association of Practitioners of Youth Work. During the training, the participants, with the help of trainers and organizers, created a manual containing methods and tools useful to all professionals, youth workers, mentors and trainers who work with youth groups.

The project "May the group force be with you(th)!" is implemented by Sombor Edu Center in partnership with Youth for Peace from Bosnia and Herzegovina, MTÜ A Bit Better from Estonia, Fundacja Krok do Przodu from Poland, European Youth Bank from Turkey, Ocean Znanja from Croatia, and NGO THY from Kosovo. The project was supported by the Tempus Foundation and financed by the European Union through the Erasmus+ program.
