Assoc. Prof. Dr. Burcu Karafil and Lecturer Sevda Balcıoğlu from our School of Foreign Languages participated in the Erasmus+ training programme entitled “Learning Educational Activity Design for Youth Work (LEAD),” held from 23 to 31 October 2026 in the Verona region of Italy.
Hosted by Oriel APS, the programme brought together youth workers from different European countries. It aimed to strengthen participants’ competences in designing high-quality, inclusive non-formal education activities with assessable learning outcomes.
Through practical workshops, collaborative tasks and experiential learning activities, participants explored needs analysis, the formulation of educational objectives and learning outcomes, facilitation, reflection and evaluation. They also developed tools and approaches to apply the knowledge and experience gained in their own professional contexts.
Co-funded by the European Union through the Erasmus+ Programme, with the support of the Italian National Agency for Youth, the training also contributed to intercultural exchange and international collaboration.
