This event was made possible through\u00a0Erasmus+ funding provided by the European Union Programmes Agency (EUPA) in\u00a0Malta. Approximately 40 young people from five countries; Malta, Italy, Spain,\u00a0Slovakia, and Romania, attended the training course. Throughout the programme,\u00a0participants had the chance to reflect on their roles as leaders within their\u00a0organisations. The course featured a variety of activities, along with moments\u00a0dedicated to formation, reflection, and fun! The first day began with Holy Mass and focused on the significance of each\u00a0individuad&#8217;s role within their Catholic organisation. Through games and activities, the\u00a0young participants quickly got to know each other on a deeper level, forming strong\u00a0bonds. The second day kicked off with an activity exploring the history of the world\u00a0and Catholic Action, using a timeline to highlight how small we are in the grand\u00a0scheme of things, yet how essential we are to the world and to their mission. Each\u00a0day, the breaks were filled with community moments and games led by one of the\u00a0five countries.\u00a0 In the afternoon, the participants met with the President and other members of \u017bAK,\u00a0who shared their personal journeys, their roles, and, most importantly, how Catholic\u00a0Action has shaped their lives and continues to influence the people they are\u00a0becoming. That same evening, the participants celebrated cultural diversity by\u00a0showcasing their countries through traditional food, quizzes, games, and dances,\u00a0giving everyone the opportunity to experience and enjoy each other&#8217;s unique\u00a0cultures. On the final day, participants reflected on the lessons they had gained over the\u00a0previous days, deepening their motivation to lead. After a meaningful morning, they\u00a0attended Sunday Mass, followed by a relaxing afternoon at a beautiful local beach.\u00a0The evening ended with music and dancing by the sea, and, as always, saying\u00a0goodbye was the hardest part. Though they had only spent a few days together,\u00a0heartfelt farewells were exchanged, with hopes that their paths would cross again in\u00a0the future. Sescu Karla Monica from Ac\u021biunea Catolic\u0103 Rom\u00e2nia explained how she accepted\u00a0the invitation with love. It was an impressive experience in which she learned how a\u00a0leader should behave in the organisation, what are the duties of a good leader and\u00a0learned ways to communicate effectively. She was impressed by the experiences\u00a0shared by the Maltese leaders who were a real inspiration to her. Laura Castro \u00c1lvarez, an 18 year-old girl from Asturias, a region in the north of\u00a0Spain, member of Acci\u00f3n Cat\u00f3lica General, said that she arrived in Malta without\u00a0much idea of what they were going to do. The part she loved the most was meeting\u00a0so many new people, both from her own country and from Italy, Romania, Malta and\u00a0Slovakia. It was interesting talking to them about their Catholic organisations and\u00a0lives. She found out that even though they live thousands of kilometres away from\u00a0each other, they were not so different. The training was really inspiring and helpful to\u00a0improve their leadership skills and be able to guide the youth groups better. Alejandro Hern\u00e1ndez L\u00f3pez, a 23 year old from Murcia in Spain explained how he\u00a0had doubts about his role as a Youth Leader before this experience, but thanks to\u00a0the workshops and the conversations with other participants, he strengthened his\u00a0commitment to his organisation and to the young people he works with. He also\u00a0mentioned how grateful he is to be part of the European Union, which made this\u00a0activity possible, where he could meet other people from different countries, which\u00a0greatly enhanced his experience. Lucia Pu\u0161k\u00e1\u0161ov\u00e1, from eRko Slovakia said that the 3 day training seminar in Malta\u00a0helped her answer questions such as; Who is a leader? Why does one become a\u00a0leader? What qualities should a group leader have? And is leadership what I want to\u00a0do? She found out that it is not important whether she calls herself an animator, a\u00a0guide or a leader. It is more important to find motivation in it, even when things are\u00a0not going her way. It is then that she needs to listen more, to be more open to others,\u00a0to pray and be true to her values, because she is responsible for a group of young\u00a0people who need her help. She is very grateful for the Erasmus funds that provide\u00a0the opportunity for youths like herself to grow and develop their skills internationally. Johana \u0160u\u0165\u00e1kov\u00e1, also from eRko Slovakia said that she has gained new knowledge\u00a0about who she is, what her role as a leader is and thought about how to be of better\u00a0service to other people. Her friend Zuzana Bajzov\u00e1 described the training for youth\u00a0leaders as an amazing opportunity to meet new people, to experience the feeling of\u00a0unity of all nations, to absorb fresh knowledge and train her skills. Maria Biasibetti, from Padua and a member of Azione Cattolica Italiana said that the\u00a0Training for Youth Leaders made her discover how similar the realities of each\u00a0 association are, despite the differences in language and culture. She learnt that to be\u00a0a good leader it is not enough to be present at meetings, but one needs to be\u00a0capable and have the skills to help young people and accompany them in their\u00a0growth. Wayne Magri and Liam Axiak from \u017bAK Malta both said that this training for Youth\u00a0Leaders was truly an unforgettable experience as far as leading and being a youth\u00a0leader goes. They can now confidently say that they learnt the inner workings and\u00a0ethics which goes into it. It was truly a fantastic experience to see so many motivated\u00a0young leaders who are ready to commit to the role of not only spreading the word of\u00a0God but also the commitment to the role of being a youth leader itself. Carlo Rossi, also a member of \u017bAK Malta, described this leadership training as a\u00a0fantastic experience, where he not only learnt and grew as a leader through the\u00a0workshops, but believes that the experience of living and discussing with people\u00a0from other countries and organisations was irreplaceable. He was pleased that there\u00a0are so many young leaders like him, and that we are all ready to take serious steps\u00a0in order<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1373,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"disabled","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"disabled","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1370","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-blog"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.4 -
