“DOGS” (Diversity of Groups) is a dynamic training course designed to empower Youth Workers with the skills and tools to turn group diversity into a strength. Using Animal-Assisted Non-Formal Education, the project helps YWs to create inclusive learning spaces where every young person can feel valued and actively involved.
What will participants gain?
They will learn how to:
Recognize and support each young person’s unique potential
