On 28 of May 2025, the Romanian team, from ATDD gathered at Liceul Constantin Brancoveanu, Horezu, a group of young people, teachers and representatives of local NGOs to present the outcomes of the All on board project and what we created alongside the partners.
Starting with 11.00 am, we had the presentation, with the full process of the project and its results. During 2 hours of discussions, the young people were interested in the results of the research but also how the methods developed will increase their interest for becoming volunteers.
The teachers were also interesting in the methods we presented in order to use them during classes, such as the Youth Initiative that we had the time to try it out.
We engaged 50 persons at this event and we had a lot of interventions from the public which received the map and agenda of the project.

As part of the final phase of All on Board, Asociación Creant Europa held three multiplier events to share the project’s main outcomes and engage with youth workers and educators – two in person and one online. Each event provided space to reflect on the developed methods and explore how they can strengthen a sense of belonging in youth work.
On 30 May 2025, Creant Europa hosted a multiplier event for 18 active youth workers. The session brought together professionals interested in inclusive practices and non-formal education, offering an opportunity to explore the project’s results and practical applications.
The aim of the event was to present the outcomes of All on Board, a project that explored how diverse methods can promote and sustain engagement among young people. Throughout the session, participants were introduced to the tools, methods, and learnings developed over the course of the more than two-year collaboration.
At the heart of the event was the presentation of the project’s main outcome: “Do’s and Don’ts: Current Challenges and Strategies for Youth Engagement”. This guide, developed collaboratively with partners, distills key insights into a clear, user-friendly resource for youth workers and educators. During the event, the Creant Europa team walked attendees through the thinking behind the publication and shared insights into its development process. An open discussion followed, where participants reflected on how the guide’s messages connect with their own realities and how the resource might support their ongoing work. In line with the project’s commitment to sustainability, no printed materials were distributed – all resources were made available digitally.
This event was supplemented by two additional events: a physical presentation held in Valencia on May 21st, 2025, and an online dissemination event held on May 30th. Both followed the same structure, presenting in depth the project, and the results of the research and of the methodology development, and catered to local youth workers

The event gathered nearly 35 youth workers, educators, and community leaders from the region to explore how the project’s outcomes can be applied to strengthen belonging and engagement in youth work across local contexts.
The gathering created a dynamic space for exchange and reflection on the diverse methods developed throughout the two-year project. Participants had the opportunity to connect with the project’s central ideas, tools, and educational materials, particularly those aimed at fostering inclusive practices in non-formal education.
A focal point of the event was the presentation of the practical guide “Do’s and Don’ts: Current Challenges and Strategies for Youth Engagement”. The Alternativi team led an interactive session walking participants through the publication’s core messages, its co-creation process, and its practical relevance to the Bulgarian youth work landscape. Attendees engaged in group discussions to share how the guide resonated with their realities and brainstormed ways to adapt the tools locally.
