Flying Giraffes

Flying Giraffes is an Erasmus+ training course supporting youth workers in developing creative and engaging ways to teach emotional intelligence, empathy, and communication skills to teenagers. During the project, we explore how Nonviolent Communication (NVC) can be experienced through playfulness and how feelings and needs can be expressed using forms of communication beyond words, such as movement, theatre, games, and creative expression. Youth workers learn practical, hands-on approaches that help young people better understand their emotions, become more aware of their needs, and build healthy relationships. The project also serves as a meeting point for youth workers who already practice NVC and want to exchange experiences and expand their range of playful methods. By learning from one another and co-creating new tools, participants build a supportive community that continues beyond the training.
