The second Learning, Teaching, and Training Activity (LTTA) of the All on Board project took place in Alicante, Spain, from February 20th to 27th, 2025. This gathering marked a significant milestone in the project’s development. Unlike the first LTTA, which focused on building the foundation of the methodology, this edition brought a broader and more experienced group to the table—30 participants from all partner organizations, including youth workers who had spent the previous year actively piloting the methodology in diverse local contexts.
This LTTA marked a pivotal transition—from creation to refinement. With a full cycle of practical application behind them, participants arrived not just with enthusiasm, but with valuable, hands-on insights. They came prepared to share what had worked, what had challenged them, and how the methodology had interacted with the real dynamics of youth work in different cultural and community settings.
Throughout the intensive week-long program, participants engaged in a rich variety of activities, including hands-on workshops, thematic feedback labs, and collaborative redesign sessions. These sessions were designed to allow space for deep reflection and strategic improvement. Participants critically examined the tools and processes, shared case studies from their field experiences, and offered suggestions for enhancing clarity, flexibility, and inclusiveness. This wasn’t about patching up weaknesses—it was about collectively strengthening the methodology, amplifying its strengths, and ensuring it could serve as a practical, accessible resource for youth workers across Europe and beyond.
One of the key features of this LTTA was the spirit of co-creation that permeated every session. The methodology wasn’t being edited by a small team behind closed doors—it was being shaped, line by line, by the very people who had lived and tested it. This ensured that the final result would not only be functional and evidence-based, but also authentic and grounded in the day-to-day realities of youth work practice.
By the end of the LTTA, the participants had reached a shared achievement: a revised and consolidated version of the All on Board methodology. This version reflects the full cycle of the project—initial ideation, pilot implementation, and collaborative refinement. It is more than a document; it is the result of a participatory journey that brought together diverse voices, critical thinking, and shared commitment to creating meaningful tools for empowering young people.
