White Rainbow — Erasmus+ Training Course

KOZ-DER is pleased to announce a new international training opportunity for youth workers.

White Rainbow is an international Erasmus+ Training Course that will take place from 4 to 13 December 2026 in Sărata Monteoru and Buzău, Romania. The project is organised by FPT Buzău and focuses on providing youth workers with practical methods, tools and non-formal education approaches to support young people’s well-being.

The project will bring together approximately 34 youth workers, youth leaders and project coordinators, together with 4 experts. Participants are expected to be aged 20 or above.

Project Aim

The main aim of White Rainbow is to equip youth workers with the knowledge, methods and practical tools they need to address topics such as well-being, healthy and active lifestyles, self-awareness and addiction prevention in their work with young people.

The training course also aims to strengthen youth workers’ capacity to create more supportive and inclusive environments for young people.

Well-being will be explored through its:

• emotional,
• mental,
• physical,
• social,
• financial,
• digital

dimensions.

What Will Be Covered?

Throughout the project, participants will explore non-formal education tools that can be used to work with young people on well-being, develop methods that encourage healthy and active lifestyles, and take part in activities related to self-awareness and addiction prevention.

Youth workers from different countries will exchange experiences and good practices while exploring how more inclusive and supportive youth environments can be created.

The expected final products include forum theatre plays, videos and a magazine promoting well-being.

Participant Profile

Participants are expected to:

• be at least 20 years old,
• be involved or interested in youth work,
• participate in the full training programme,
• be open to intercultural learning,
• actively contribute to group activities,
• contribute to dissemination activities after the project.

The project will involve 34 youth workers, youth leaders and project coordinators plus 4 experts.

A total of 17 partner countries are planned, although the participating countries have not yet been finalised.

Preparation Before the Project

Before arriving, participants are expected to carry out a short research activity on the current situation regarding well-being, lifestyle and addictions in their city, region or country.

Participants are also encouraged to propose games, energisers and group activities that can be used during workshops or free time.

For the intercultural evening, participants should bring traditional food or drinks from their country and be prepared to share a song or teach a traditional dance.

As the organisers aim to reduce plastic consumption, participants are encouraged to bring their own water bottle and coffee or tea mug.

Accommodation

During the first part of the project, participants will stay at Casa cu Tei Pension in Sărata Monteoru.

Accommodation will be provided in twin rooms with private bathrooms. Towels, soap and bed linen will be provided. Laundry and ironing services are not available.

For the final two nights, participants will stay at Hotel Sport B90 in Buzău, in rooms for two or three people with private bathrooms.

Meals

Participants will receive every day:

• 3 meals
• 2 coffee breaks

throughout the project.

Transportation

Depending on the arrival times of the participating teams, the organisers plan to arrange a private bus transfer from Bucharest Otopeni Airport to Sărata Monteoru on the arrival day.

The transfer is expected to take place at approximately 18:00, so participants are advised to choose travel options that arrive in Bucharest earlier.

Travelling independently to Sărata Monteoru is also possible, although the organisers note that this option may be more complicated.

Travel Reimbursement

Travel expenses will be reimbursed after the project according to real eligible costs, within the maximum amounts defined by the Erasmus+ distance calculator.

Maximum travel support indicated in the information pack:

• 100–499 km: €211 / Green travel €285
• 500–1999 km: €309 / Green travel €417
• 2000–2999 km: €395 / Green travel €535

Participants must keep all bus, train, ferry or flight tickets and invoices.

Extra baggage fees purchased during airport check-in are not eligible for reimbursement.

Taxi, Uber, Bolt and similar transport costs are only considered eligible in exceptional situations where public transportation is unavailable.

Green Travel

A journey may qualify as green travel when more than half of the journey is completed by bus, train or other lower-emission means of transportation.

Teams planning to use green travel should inform the organisers approximately one month in advance.

Important Rules

Participants will live and work in an intercultural environment and are therefore expected to show respect and tolerance towards different cultures.

Drug use is strictly prohibited during the project. Alcohol may only be consumed responsibly after the training activities and in accordance with the relevant national legislation.

All participants are required to actively attend all training activities and participate in the dissemination phase after the project.

Weather
