Spiral Youth

Spiral Youth is a youth-led informal group founded by five motivated young people from Râmnicu Vâlcea, Romania. We aim to empower young people and create accessible pathways to Erasmus+ and other European opportunities, with a strong focus on those with fewer opportunities or no previous international experience. Although newly established, our members have previous experience in Erasmus+ Youth Exchanges and Training Courses, as well as hands-on experience in youth work through their involvement with Youth Hub Râmnicu Vâlcea and local projects. We have participated in and facilitated youth activities using engaging, participatory and non-formal learning approaches. Our main areas of interest include youth wellbeing and mental health awareness, gender equality, inclusion and diversity, sustainability, active citizenship, human rights, media literacy and critical thinking. We are particularly interested in projects that strengthen communication, empathy, interpersonal skills, participation and young people's ability to engage constructively with their communities. Our five members bring complementary skills in youth facilitation, communication, inclusion, wellbeing, creative activities, intercultural learning, digital skills, logistics and participant support, supported by diverse academic and volunteering backgrounds. We are interested in building reliable, long-term partnerships for Erasmus+ Youth Exchanges, Training Courses, networking activities and other youth projects. As a sending group, we can contribute to participant identification and preparation, intercultural preparation, dissemination and local follow-up activities. We are a young group with an active team, previous Erasmus+ experience and a strong motivation to learn, contribute and create meaningful opportunities for young people across Europe
