On June 25-26 in Lecce, the two-day training, co-organized by garagErasmus together with ITS Turismo Puglia and ESAA, is going to bring together representatives of our gE4Cities network and ErasMAG reporters.

Participants have the option of participating in one of two  interactive and collaborative learning training tracks: one – Growing Stronger: Skills, structure, and innovation for sustainable volunteer networks – is focused on organizational development, volunteer engagement, and innovation, while the other – Voices of Europe: Journalism in Action for the Next Generation – explores media literacy and journalism skills.

Using non-formal education methods, both tracks encourage peer learning, practical exercises, reflection, and the exchange of experiences.

Throughout the training, participants will be encouraged to connect learning directly to their organisational, professional, and personal contexts, ensuring that the outcomes of the programme are practical, relevant, and transferable to their work within the garagErasmus network. Whether strengthening volunteer-based organisations or developing communication and storytelling competences, participants will be supported in translating their learning into concrete actions that contribute to active citizenship, European engagement, and the long-term sustainability and visibility of the garagErasmus community.
