🌱 The BEAT ROOTS journey has officially begun!
Last week in Valladolid, we kicked off the first educational activity of the project with an intense, warm, and inspiring mobility hosted by Fundación Red Íncola. From the very first day, the atmosphere was open, welcoming, and deeply human — a perfect ground to meet, listen, learn, and co-create.
🥁 Through shared practices, exchanges between youth workers, and moments of reflection, we explored how inclusive youth work methods can create safe spaces, build trust, and strengthen communities.
🎬 At the same time, we started filming for the BEAT ROOTS documentary, capturing voices, gestures, rhythms, and everyday moments that tell the story of this journey from the inside. These first images will become part of a wider narrative following the project across countries and activities.
🔁 What’s next? The project now moves into its local activity cycles in each partner country, where the methodology will be tested and adapted on the ground. After that, we will all meet again for the international youth mobility in Palermo next summer, bringing together experiences, stories, and people from across Europe.
🙏 A big thank you to everyone who made this first step possible Our amazing participants and facilitators Fundación Red Íncola for the warm hosting in Valladolid, Forme (IT) and Cinergies (GR)
🇪🇺 BEAT ROOTS is a Cooperation Partnership project co-funded by the Erasmus+ Programme of the European Union, with the support of the Italian National Youth Agency
This is only the beginning — and we can’t wait to share what grows next. 🌿
