Erasmus+ Training Course on Resilience and Personal Growth held in Kolín, Czech Republic
29/03/2025 – 06/04/2025 Kolín, Czech Republic

At the end of March and the beginning of April, something special happened in the charming Czech town of Kolín. It wasn’t just the arrival of spring—but the arrival of young, passionate changemakers from all over Europe. From Czechia, Estonia, Malta, Poland, Spain, the Netherlands, Slovakia, and Greece, these inspiring individuals came together for an unforgettable Erasmus+ training called “Path of Resilience.”

And what a journey it was!

More than just a training…

This wasn’t your typical classroom course. It was a deep, personal, and emotional adventure. The aim? To help people who work with young individuals connect with their inner strength—resilience—and learn how to pass it on to others.

Over several days, participants explored what resilience really means. They shared stories from their own lives, discovered what fuels their motivation, and found new ways to turn everyday challenges into opportunities for growth.

So, what did we dive into?

• Understanding the true meaning of resilience—beyond the buzzword.
• Reflecting on personal life experiences and how they shaped who we are.
• Learning how to lead interactive activities, discussions, and creative workshops.
• Digging deep to find our inner passions, those sparks that drive us forward.
• Taking everything we learned and figuring out how to use it when working with young people, especially those going through tough times.

Learning with heart and hands

This training was alive—with movement, conversation, laughter, and reflection. Forget boring lectures—participants were actively engaged from start to finish. They worked in teams, explored new ideas through role play, shared personal insights, and even found quiet moments for self-reflection.

Everyone brought something unique to the group, and the international mix created a rich, colourful learning atmosphere. Even though we came from different cultures, we quickly became one community—connected by empathy, energy, and a shared mission.

Taking the path forward

By the end of the training, Kolín felt like a second home. People left with more than new skills—they left with new confidence, new friendships, and new inspiration to support young people in powerful, meaningful ways.

The “Path of Resilience” reminded us all: strength is already inside us. Sometimes, all we need is the right environment, the right people, and a little spark to find it again.
