What is the WHY project
WHY (We Hear You) is an Erasmus + project which aims to provide a basis for an improved culture amongst professionals as well as structures that will support democratic dialogue and youth involvement in order to promote civic participation, create participatory mechanisms, thus preventing marginalisation and its negative effects on individuals and society.
One of the objectives of the WHY project is to develop training tools for youth professionals
How can I use these courses?
Individuals
If you are an individual (teacher, youth professional) you can follow these courses on your own pace. First you need to register to our platform and then enroll to one or both courses.
Teams
The ideal scenario is to deliver these courses in your team of professionals. For each course a trainer’s guide is available to downlad in the introduction.
Organisations
If you represent an organisation and wish to host the courses on your own e-learning platform you can download the courses in LMS format (link soon will be available). You are free to modify and extend the courses according to your organisation’s needs. We kindly ask you to send us your feedback and evaluation of the courses.

Please note, this is a follow on from course A- Reflections.
Increasingly, teachers and social workers are responding constructively to new challenges in cities with young people of divergent socio-economic and cultural backgrounds.
This course is primarily intended to support the integration of dialogue principles in youth professionals in order to stimulate young people’s trust in democratic institutions and values. These tools can transform discussions into an enriching learning experience in order to promote civic participation.
