We invite you to join the Y-CARE EmpathyLAB, an interactive online session dedicated to reflecting on and strengthening the Y-CARE teaching and training materials before their final dissemination. This session offers a safe and reflective space for peer network members and professionals to exchange insights, share feedback, and explore the practical value and emotional impact of the Y-CARE materials.

*🔹 The Project:*Y-CARE – Youth-Centered Approaches for Resilience and Empowerment was developed in response to the increasing emotional demands within youth work. It provides practical training programmes, methods, and peer-support formats with the aim of preventing burnout, promoting reflective practice, and building sustainable support structures within organisations. 👉 Learn more: *https://y-careproject.eu/* <https://y-careproject.eu/>

*🔹 Our Guest Speaker:*We are delighted to welcome *dr hab. Michał Kwiatkowski, Prof. at the Academy of Special Education (APS) in Warsaw, *as our invited expert. His research spans vocational counselling, work psychology, motivation, and social pedagogy – making him an ideal voice on empathy and resilience in professional practice.

*🔹 What to expect from the EmpathyLAB:*Through guided discussions and small breakout groups, we will contribute our professional experience, reflect together with colleagues from across Europe, and gain inspiration from our invited expert. *Your voice matters — and your feedback will directly shape the final quality of Y-CARE outputs.*
