💬 **Between the Lines – Learning to Listen, Speak & Connect!** 🌍

Last September, we had our second Youth Exchange of the month, this time focusing on something we use every single day — **communication!**

Young people from 🇲🇹 Malta, 🇵🇱 Poland, 🇮🇹 Italy, 🇷🇴 Romania and 🇪🇸 Spain came together for **Between the Lines**, an Erasmus+ Youth Exchange focused on developing stronger and more effective communication skills.

Throughout the week, participants explored **self-expression, active and empathetic listening, respectful dialogue and intercultural communication**, while building their confidence to communicate and connect with others. 🗣️👂🤝

Another week of learning, connecting and growing together through Erasmus+! 🇪🇺✨

September is usually known as the **back-to-school month**, but for us, it’s more like the **back-to-projects month**… although, in reality, we never really stopped! 😅✈️

My first project for September was a **Youth Exchange focusing on art and mental health**. 🎨🧠

Together with the participants, we explored the topics of mental health and mental well-being, while discovering how **art can be a powerful way to express ourselves, process emotions, and take care of our mental well-being**. ❤️🎭🖌️

The project was carried out together with @margitifanpage , who I have to admit is definitely the more artistic one between the two of us! 😂🎨

A great way to start another busy month of projects, learning, creativity and new experiences! 🇪🇺✨

What an incredible week in Malta! 🇲🇹✨

From 2–8 September 2026, young people came together for an Erasmus+ Youth Exchange focused on mental health, mental well-being and the role of art in self-expression. 🎨🧠

A huge THANK YOU to all the participants, group leaders, organisers and partner organisations who made project such a meaningful and memorable experience. 💛

We leave Malta with new perspectives, new connections and plenty of creativity to take home and share in our own communities. 🌱🎨

💶 Financial Literacy: More Than Just Money 💡

Financial literacy is a topic particularly close to my heart ❤️, so it was great to have another opportunity to deliver a training on this subject, this time in Poland 🇵🇱.

The training brought together youth workers from across Europe 🌍, including 🇲🇹 Malta, 🇵🇱 Poland, 🇫🇷 France, 🇷🇴 Romania, 🇺🇦 Ukraine, 🇭🇷 Croatia, 🇸🇰 Slovakia, 🇹🇷 Türkiye, 🇵🇹 Portugal and 🇭🇺 Hungary.

Together, we explored financial literacy as an important life skill for young people 💰, looking at our relationship with money, saving, spending, budgeting, investing, borrowing and financial protection. 📊📈

The best part? Knowing that these youth workers will take their learning and practical tools 🧰 back to the young people they work with, extending the impact across Europe. 🌍🤝

Another great opportunity to learn, exchange and keep the conversation about money and financial literacy going! 💬💶

🌿 In July Our trainers’ journey took us to Slovenia! 🇸🇮

In July, together with @Luaksz, we had the opportunity to deliver a training focused on mental health and the role of nature in supporting young people. 🧠🌱

Throughout the training, participating youth workers explored some of the most common mental health challenges affecting young people today, strengthening their understanding of how these challenges can impact young people’s everyday lives.

A key part of the training focused on nature-based approaches 🌳. Participants explored how nature and outdoor activities can be used within youth work to promote well-being, create opportunities for connection and reflection, and support young people experiencing mental health difficulties.

Another meaningful learning experience, another group of youth workers better equipped to support the young people they work with! 💚

✨ A different experience from the usual Training Courses and Youth Exchanges! 🇭🇷

At the end of June, I had the opportunity to travel to Croatia to train a group of teachers on one of the topics I am most passionate about—understanding young people and building stronger connections with them. 👩‍🏫👨‍🏫💬

Throughout the three-day programme, we explored the realities that today's youth face, the challenges affecting their well-being, and practical ways educators can better communicate with, support, and empower the next generation. 🌍🧠🤝

It was an inspiring few days filled with meaningful discussions, shared experiences, and one common goal: helping young people feel heard, understood, and supported. 💙🙌

🌍✨ A Glimpse into Last Friday's Event at @nextera_mt ✨🌍

Last Friday, we had the privilege of welcoming speakers from Ghana 🇬🇭, India 🇮🇳, the United Kingdom 🇬🇧, and Iran 🇮🇷, who shared their personal stories of moving to Malta and their experiences of inclusion and integration within the local community. 🤝❤️

We also had the pleasure of welcoming a representative from Jesuit Refugee Service Malta, who provided valuable insights into the important work they carry out in supporting migrants and refugees in Malta. 🏠🌟

The event offered a unique opportunity for local participants to learn more about the realities, challenges, and successes that many foreigners experience while building a new life in Malta. Through open discussions and personal testimonies, participants gained a deeper understanding of what it means to feel welcomed, included, and part of a community. 💬🌈

🇪🇺 This activity forms part of a project supported through the European Solidarity Corps (ESC) Fund, which empowers young people to take action, promote solidarity, and create positive change within their communities. 💙💛

🌱 Every story shared helps break down stereotypes.
🤝 Every conversation builds understanding.
❤️ Every connection makes our communities stronger.

Together, we continue building bridges, celebrating diversity, and creating a more inclusive Malta for everyone. 🌍✨

✨ Last week together with @margitifanpage we successfully delivered another Erasmus+ training course Behind the Behavior ✨

Throughout the week, we had the opportunity to bring together professionals working with young people for a meaningful learning journey focused on mental health, understanding behavior, and support.

The training explored the mental health challenges many young people are facing today and encouraged participants to look beyond the behaviour to better understand what may be happening underneath.

Together, we reflected on how we, as professionals, can offer more effective and compassionate support to young people experiencing these challenges.
Participants also explored practical tools and methods from nature therapy and art therapy, discovering creative and holistic approaches that can be used in their everyday work with young people 🌿🎨

A big thank you to everyone who joined us, shared their experiences, and made this week such a valuable and inspiring space for learning. 💛

Another successful study visit completed 🇲🇹🇪🇪✨

This time we had the pleasure of hosting a group of future youth workers from Estonia here in Malta. It was an inspiring and enriching experience filled with learning, sharing, reflection, and meaningful discussions around youth work and non-formal education.

One of the most eye-opening parts of this experience was exploring both the similarities and differences between our countries when it comes to working with young people, creating learning opportunities, and building stronger communities 🌍🤝

Grateful for all the new connections, ideas, and future collaborations that were born throughout this journey. Looking forward to seeing what opportunities these partnerships will bring in the future ✨

A big thank you to all the organizations that welcomed and hosted us, and special thanks to @allikenk for making this beautiful idea happen 🙌 by @abraham_azzopardi

Had an amazing experience in Slovenia delivering a training for educators on 🎮 Gamification & 🔐 Educational Escape Rooms!

During the training, participants explored:

✨ Why gamification works in education
✨ The psychology behind escape rooms
✨ How escape rooms increase engagement, teamwork, and problem-solving
✨ How to design and build educational escape rooms step by step

It was incredible seeing so many creative educators experimenting with new ways of making learning more interactive, meaningful, and fun! 🙌

The Escape Rooms that participants created were then tested out by Slovenian youth attending a local High School.

A big thank you to everyone who participated, especially my co-trainer, Lukasz Radecki🌍💡 #Gamification #EscapeRooms #Education #NonFormalEducation #YouthWork #ErasmusPlus #LearningThroughPlay #InnovationInEducation by @abraham_azzopardi

✨ Just wrapped up another inspiring training — this time in the Czech Republic 🇨🇿

During the week, participants had the opportunity to explore well-being in a holistic way 🌱 and dive deeper into the pillars of 💰 financial, 🧠 mental, 💪 physical, and 🤝 social well-being, reflecting on how these dimensions shape our everyday lives and youth work.

Grateful to have co-facilitated this journey with @burnlaus 🙌 always a pleasure to work together — and a big thank you to @cefiginternational ❤️ for trusting me once again with another meaningful project.
