VENUE

Leysin is a municipality of the canton of Vaud in the Aigle district of South-West Switzerland. Located in the Bernese Alps, Leysin is a sunny alpine resort village at the eastern end of Lake Geneva in proximity to Montreux, Lausanne and Geneva. We will have unique chance to experience the Swiss Alps in summer time, 1450 m above sea level, together with the wonderful nature around. In Leysin the official language is French, but most of the people speak German and English as well. If you want to learn more about the region and the possibilities offered there visit the LEYSING OFFICIAL WEBSITE.


The participants can experience a very typical Swiss Alps hospitality in a very warm 3-star Hôtel Central Résidence with amazing staff, which is offering wonderful conditions for work and enjoyment in the nature. You will be sleeping in rooms of 4 or 5 people, mixed from different countries. The hotel is offering everything that you need in terms of clean towels and bed sheets, each room is equipped with bath, shower, television, complimentary wireless connection, hairdryer and balcony with views of the Alps and glaciers.

Day 6 Update on #youthification - 26 Aug 2018

Image
As from today the participants are taking over the stage. We are starting with the workshops that are going to be facilitated by the participants who are working in pairs. Each pair has 40 minutes time to deliver a workshop on a topic they feel most confident in. After each workshop, the pairs are receiving constructive feedback by the group and by the trainers. This feedback helps them to improve their work in the future as facilitators.  We captured the first impressions of each pair right after they came out from the session. Here you can hear their comments and learning points: Gorety & Daniela Reza & Marija Kosta & Stephanie Caterina & Kosta Jovana & Davide Barbare & Manos Goran & Vanessa Pablo & Katarina Video Summary of Day 6:

Welcome to the world of YOUTHIFICATION

Subkult organized the training course YOUTHIFICATION in 2016 for the first time and last year in 2017 for the second edition, 32 youth workers gathered on the Swiss Alps to explore the topic of youth centers.

Day 1 Update on #youthification - 21 Aug 2018

Morning sunshine in Leysin with awesome warm weather! We all woke up with high expectations about the official start of the training program today. Everyone had a nice sleep after a long trip and with full enthusiasm entered the working room. After a short introduction we went outside in the nature for a “Walk & Talk”. Breathing the fresh Alp air under the shiny sun, we had an activity to ask interesting questions to each other and discover even more details about each of us. After asking the question and getting an answer, we exchange the questions on piece of paper and hand it over the person who gave us an answer, so then we look for another partner with whom we continue to ask other questions and receive even more insights of their personality. The aim of this activity is to break the walls and barriers between the group and also it is a nice start of building our group that will work together the following 7 days. After a round of one hour we went slowly to the hotel and had a
