Journey of Unity
About
The Journey of Unity is an Erasmus+ funded project (KA1 Training Course) designed to equip educators, youth workers, and change-makers with innovative tools for leadership, storytelling, and mental well-being. Rooted in the Hero’s Journey methodology, this immersive experience empowers participants to guide young people through personal and collective transformation. Through interactive workshops, creative activities, and shared storytelling, we foster resilience, self-awareness, and community building.
The People
This project brought together a diverse group of 26 educators, facilitators, and youth workers from six countries: Poland, Denmark, Spain, Portugal, Germany, and Lithuania. Each participant brings unique perspectives, experiences, and expertise, contributing to a rich and dynamic learning environment. Together, we explored new approaches to education, leadership, and youth engagement, creating an international community of practice that extends beyond the project itself.
The Place
The Journey of Unity took place in Lublin, Poland, from March 6th to 14th, 2025. Lublin, with its deep historical roots and vibrant cultural scene, provided an inspiring setting for reflection, creativity, and collaboration. The city’s unique atmosphere—where history meets innovation—served as the perfect backdrop for participants to embark on their own personal and professional journeys.
The Outputs
As a result of this transformative experience, The Journey of Unity has produced several key outputs, including:
- A Facilitator’s Guide – A practical resource filled with methods, exercises, and activities based on the Hero’s Journey, storytelling, and mental well-being.
- Interactive Learning Activities – Engaging tools for youth workers and educators, incorporating non-formal education techniques to foster growth and self-discovery.
- A Kuula 360 Platform – A virtual showcase that captures the journey, featuring an interactive tour of the week, insights into the process, participant-created videos, and powerful stories.
- A Community of Practice – An active network of educators and youth workers continuing to support and inspire one another beyond the training course.
