Call for free participation at the

Playful Paths Train the trainer

14-16 April, Budapest, Hungary

What is the goal of Playful Paths project and the training?

The goal of this project is to strengthen the agency of women, who are reentering the labour force after years of being stayhome mothers. While we cannot change the systemic failures and problems of the labour market, by strengthening women’s control about their career and personal goals and personal competencies, as well as assist them in finding a better approach to work-balance harmony, we would like to empower them for a more conscious career planning.

What the training course will be about?

During the training course the participants will experience and learn new methods to work with women:

• Symbolwork, which is a coaching and therapy method used for social and youth work, developed by the German psychologist, Wilfried Schneider. You can read more about it here: http://www.symbolarbeit.at/
