We are pleased to share that our team successfully participated in the Erasmus+ Training Course "Social Media Tools for Youth Empowerment" in Cervia, Italy. 🇮🇹✨

Throughout the training, we explored digital literacy, creative storytelling, and innovative social media tools that empower young people and strengthen youth work in the digital age.

On 17 June 2026, we brought these valuable insights back to our local community by organizing a dissemination session, sharing the knowledge, tools, and good practices gained during the mobility.

Together, we continue empowering young people through digital innovation, collaboration, and lifelong learning.

ASDA ry at Activity 5 of the NAIS Project in Eskilstuna, Sweden 🇸🇪

From 30 May to 4 June 2026, ASDA ry proudly participated in Activity 5 of the Nature Connection for Supporting Integration (NAIS) Project in Eskilstuna.

This inspiring training activity brought together youth workers and participants from Finland, Sweden, Poland, and Czechia to explore how nature-based approaches can support the integration, well-being, and social inclusion of young immigrants. Through experiential learning, outdoor activities, reflection, and intercultural exchange, participants strengthened their skills and gained practical tools for their daily youth work.

We extend our sincere gratitude to our hosts, Somaliska Riksförbundet i Sverige, for their excellent organization, warm hospitality, and the welcoming environment they created throughout the activity.

A special thank you to Danielle, Patrycja, and Paul for their dedication, professionalism, and valuable contributions to the success of the training. Your knowledge, energy, and commitment greatly enriched the learning experience for all participants.

We also thank all participants for their active engagement, openness, and willingness to share experiences and learn from one another. Together, we continue building stronger, healthier, and more inclusive communities through the power of nature.
