The Power of Preventive Education

Training Course

13-21 September 2025

Bicăcel (Bihor) - Romania

About the project: 

Preventive work has become a vital component of educational activities aimed at

teenagers today. Our approach to this topic is both straightforward and thought-provoking: prevention is not about enforcing abstinence or imposing restrictions. Instead, it is about cultivating an inner sense of balance and peace—both within oneself and in relation to others. It's about reaching the self-awareness needed to understand the motivations behind one’s choices. We believe this mindset should be at the heart of any preventive education related to addictions and other behaviors. This document invites you to take part in a learning program focused on preventive education, primarily addressing substance abuse. The program is designed to strengthen your ability to support teenagers in navigating these challenges more effectively.

Our aim is to bring preventive education closer to its intended beneficiaries by making it practical, relatable, and impactful. We welcome you to join us in a meaningful and enriching journey: a week-long experience filled with non-formal learning activities, designed to equip you with valuable tools, and approaches.The TC (training course) is part of IPTA (Idei si Proiecte pentru Tineri Activi) portfolio of activities dedicated to youth workers who are interested in working with preventive education with teenagers. We want to prioritize the transferability of our results and methods in the partner organizations, and we will work on adapting the methods to your target audience. This event is a proper space for exploring as many facets of personal and professional traits that are needed to better understand how to address preventive work with teenagers, as well with yourself. Moreover, we invite the participants to share their knowledge and practices in preventive work and education in general.
