За събитието
WELLCORE: Лятна градска седянка
(WELLbeing, mental health, COnnection and REsilience)
📅 July 28, 2026, 4:00 PM – 9:00 PM
📍 South Park, Sofia (behind Park Center Sofia)
Why are we gathering?
Working with young people demands a great deal from those who do it—attention, presence, and emotional energy.
Yet, the topic of their own well-being rarely makes it onto the agenda.
WELLCORE is a European partnership developing a training model for youth workers focused on well-being, connection, and resilience—using experiential methods, movement, theater, circus arts, and group work. Impact Drive leads the development of the project's youth ecosystem strategy and is responsible for the Bulgarian component of the training program.
On July 28, we are bringing part of this program outdoors. We’ll meet informally in the park during the most relaxed month of the year.
What will we be doing?
Together, we will put elements of the training into practice:
Future Thinking – how we envision the future in youth work
Civic Circus – body, trust, and group dynamics
Reflection with metaphorical cards – a tool for self-analysis and group work
Resilience, self-care, and sustainability – practices applicable to daily work
We will also discuss what truly matters: how to apply these tools in practice, how to communicate with diverse groups of young people, and how to integrate self-care into our work rather than leaving it for last. We’ll explain what a "nurturing session" is—and how each of you can organize one yourself.
Who is leading the session?
The facilitators are participants from the WELLCORE "training of trainers" program held in Erlangen, Germany, alongside the Impact Drive team.
