	Earlier the same year, 2017 we led a "Stories We Tell" 2-week training course for youth workers and artists using creative writing and digital storytelling as innovative pedagogical tools for revaluation of local surroundings and active civic participation among young people. During the workshop, the youth workers, educators and artivists explored various tools of creative communication, visual and written communication in order to get additional skills on how to tell their groups’ stories in a compelling way.

	In May 2018 we implemented a training course called ~~“WeMen”~~, a workshop in Brivezac, France, that invited youth workers and artists to lend their support to involve youth for gender equality. We had chosen to address this topic through the use of creative digital tools because images are a powerful tool for reflection and call to action, and digital media has the widest impact reach. We intended to bring everyone’s messages for gender equity and equality through comics that we also put in a joint comic book.

	During 2018 and 2019 we have participated in a strategic partnership with Latvia and Italy to elaborate innovative, efficient learning tools and methods for boosting young people’s participation and activism thought to develop their initiative and entrepreneurship, social and civic competence, that would be based on the work with body and movement.

	In July 2019 we coordinated ~~“Non~~-Violent ~~Theatre”~~ training course in France for youth workers, educators, facilitators and activists to deal with situations of conflict or misunderstanding in the work environment, where reaching a compromise is needed for common good and growth. As much as conflicts are natural for human relations, our concern is not to let them threaten the basic sense of safety, when a person feels their needs are endangered, which might lead to violent defensive reactions.

	In September and November 2019 we have coordinated ~~“Creative Communication”~~: a project that consists of two activities: a training course in France that aims at presenting the concept of digital literacy and a mix of creative and online tools to improve NGO leaders’ online communication and will empower them with new skills, good practices and tools to use in their digital communication. Then, the second activity which is a seminar in Bulgaria is to present the learning outcome and good practices to participants from developing countries in Eastern Europe. The activities are based on well-developed methods of creative strategies design (such as storytelling, design thinking, service design, buying personas, graphic facilitation and more) which is an approach to resolve issues outside of professional design practice, such as social contexts.

	In 2021, after a hectic year of adjusting to the pandemic situation, we managed to implement 3 of our Erasmus+ training courses: ~~“Acroconnection”~~ and ~~“Visualitation”~~ 1 and 2 in Italy and France. For the two latter projects, we brought together youth leaders, educators and visual practitioners to develop, test and pass on a set of empowering tools coming straight from the world of visual language.

	In 2022 and 2023, Nomadways was focused on using visual tools to empower educational non-formal activities and foster group exploration of the social environments. Together, with 4 more partners from Germany, Italy, Spain and Portugal, we implemented the Strategic partnership (K2 Erasmus+) project ~~“UrbEX”~~ which aimed at developing urban exploration as a tool to engage and empower youths at risk of exclusion. It achieved its aims firstly by promoting the active participation and engagement of five local groups of young people and providing them with non-formal learning opportunities for exploration and appreciation of the urban space. Secondly, it created an educational model based on the neighbourhood as a learning space and used it to train youth workers, teachers and professionals from the social and educational sectors. Finally, the team developed an international network of youth organisations, schools, and educational and social institutions interested in using urban exploration as an educational strategy. The network will ensure the dissemination and long-term use of the results produced in "UrbEX" as well as a continuous exchange of knowledge between the actors.

			In 2016, we engaged in "Developing an innovative platform to impact millions of refugees with social circus", a 3 years strategic partnership to offer alternative sources of non-formal education and connect refugee and displaced youth in and around Europe with social circus and art programmes. We are responsible for the creation of the website and app with social circus content.

	~~Since 2008, Nomadways organises projects for young people and youth leaders to foster their creativity, critical thinking and help develop their competencies, attitudes and projects.~~ In ~~our daily work~~, we ~~pay attention~~ to ~~new technologies and creative methods~~, ~~such~~ as ~~the creation of innovative educational tools like online booklets~~, ~~videos and games. We have coordinated over 20 projects funded by the European Comission programmes (Youth in Action and Erasmus+): trainings, youth exchanges~~, ~~strategic partnerships, job shadowing~~ and ~~feasibility visits~~. ~~Here are short descriptions of a few of them:~~		In November 2016, we coordinated "How to be a clown", a training for youth workers to explore clowning as a tool for self-development, active participation, community building and social change.

	In ~~2022~~ and ~~2023, Nomadways is focused on using visual tools~~ to ~~empower educational non-formal activities~~ and ~~foster group exploration~~ of the ~~social environments. Together, with 4 more partners from Germany, Italy~~, ~~Spain~~ and ~~Portugal, we are implementing the Strategic partnership (K2 Erasmus+) project “Urbex” - aimed at developing urban exploration as a tool~~ to ~~engage and empower youths at risk of exclusion. It will achieve its aims firstly by promoting~~ the ~~active participation and engagement of five local groups~~ of ~~young people~~ and ~~providing them with non-formal learning opportunities of exploration and appreciation of~~ the ~~urban space~~. ~~Secondly~~, ~~it will develop~~ a ~~creative educational model based on~~ the ~~neighbourhood as a learning space~~ and ~~use it to train youth workers, teachers and professionals from~~ the ~~social and educational sectors. It will also create an international network~~ of ~~youth organisations, schools~~, ~~educational and social institutions interested in using urban exploration as an educational strategy. The network will ensure~~ the ~~dissemination~~ and ~~long-term use of the results produced in URBEX as well as a continuous exchange of knowledge between the actors~~.		In October 2017 we coordinated "Subjective Mapping" for artists, educators, architects and activists who have created different kind of maps ranging from digital to sensorial maps in order to shake geographical conventions and propose alternative representations of the world in which we live, and to present the diverse ways of living and seeing the world. As a part of it, there was a high interaction with the local community and the possibility of exchange, especially during the final exhibition and celebration.

	~~In 2021, after a hectic~~ year ~~of adjusting to the pandemi situation~~, we ~~managed to implement 3 of our Erasmus+~~ training ~~courses: “Acroconnection”~~ and ~~“Visualitation” 1~~ and ~~2 in Italy~~ and ~~France~~. ~~For~~ the ~~two latter projects~~, ~~we brought together~~ youth ~~leaders~~, educators and ~~visual practitioners to develop, test and pass on a set of empowering~~ tools ~~coming straight from the world~~ of visual ~~language. Our training courses were based~~ on ~~experiential learning and introduced many experiential activities~~ to ~~discover the power of visual language for community engagement and communication~~.		Earlier the same year, 2017 we led a "Stories We Tell" 2-week training course for youth workers and artists using creative writing and digital storytelling as innovative pedagogical tools for revaluation of local surroundings and active civic participation among young people. During the workshop, the youth workers, educators and artivists explored various tools of creative communication, visual and written communication in order to get additional skills on how to tell their groups’ stories in a compelling way.

	In ~~September and November 2019~~ we ~~have coordinated “Creative Communication”: a project that consists of two activities:~~ a training course in France that ~~aims at presenting~~ the ~~concept~~ of digital ~~literacy and~~ a ~~mix of creative~~ and ~~online tools~~ to ~~improve NGO leaders’ online communication and will empower them with new skills~~, ~~good practices~~ and ~~tools to use in their~~ digital ~~communication. Then, the second activity which is a seminar in Bulgaria is to present~~ the ~~learning outcome and good practices to participants from developing countries in Eastern Europe~~. The activities are based on well-developed methods of creative strategies design (such as storytelling, design thinking, service design, buying personas, graphic facilitation and more) which is an approach to ~~resolve issues outside of professional design practice, such as social contexts.~~		In May 2018 we implemented a training course called “WeMen”, a workshop in Brivezac, France, that invited youth workers and artists to lend their support to involve youth for gender equality. We had chosen to address this topic through the use of creative digital tools because images are a powerful tool for reflection and call to action, and digital media has the widest impact reach. We intended to bring everyone’s messages for gender equity and equality through comics that we also put in a joint comic book.

	~~In July 2019 we coordinated “Non-Violent Theatre” training course in France~~ for ~~youth workers, educators, facilitators~~ and ~~activists to deal with situations of conflict or misunderstanding~~ in the work environment, where reaching a compromise is needed for common good and growth. As much as conflicts are natural for human relations, our concern is not to let them threaten the basic sense of safety, when a ~~person feels their needs are endangered, which might lead to violent defensive reactions~~.

	During 2018 and 2019 we have participated in a strategic partnership with Latvia and Italy to elaborate innovative, efficient learning tools and methods for boosting young people’s participation and activism thought to develop their initiative and entrepreneurship, social and civic competence, that would be based on the work with body and movement.

During 2020, with the COVID-19 outbreak, the association couldn't implement any projects and had to postpone the already-funded projects to 2021 and 2022.

			In 2021, after a hectic year of adjusting to the pandemic situation, we managed to implement 3 of our Erasmus+ training courses: “Acroconnection” and “Visualitation” 1 and 2 in Italy and France. For the two latter projects, we brought together youth leaders, educators and visual practitioners to develop, test and pass on a set of empowering tools coming straight from the world of visual language. Our training courses were based on experiential learning and introduced many experiential activities to discover the power of visual language for community engagement and communication.
