PDA "Navigating Chaos 3.0"
The professional development workshop "Navigating Chaos" will take place from July 9 to July 17, 2026.
What is the program?
Working with young people today often means navigating uncertainty - changing needs , emotional challenges, complex group dynamics , and constant decision-making.
Navigating Chaos is a professional development training designed to help youth workers – and people who work with people – stay grounded, resilient, and resourceful when things feel overwhelming.
What skills do you develop?
During this immersive learning experience, participants explore tools that strengthen:
Communication and collaboration
WHAT WE DO TO ACHIEVE OUR GOALS
Our method:
We use experiential learning, because it sticks deeper and goes beyond theory. This includes immersive simulations, working together in pairs or groups, overcoming challenges, reflecting on your experiences, various communication and coaching tools, embodiment and self-regulation techniques, role-playing, performance, and artistic expressions.
Instead of only talking about theory, you will experience the tools, reflect on them, and learn how to apply them in your own work with young people.
The feedback is very important for us
