Hosting Empowerment is a three-year program funded by the EU Erasmus+ program. Our objective is to enable vulnerable groups to become more active citizens. We will research how to create settings that strengthen courage, self-confidence, and self-efficacy. We envision a society where each person is capable of influencing their own circumstances and destiny. Therefore, our mission is to inspire and nourish vulnerable groups as well as those who care for them. We will develop and distribute methods, tools and skills to enable facilitators to become even more effective in supporting their participants to become increasingly empowered and active.
From 2020-2023 we created:
- a workbook
- a guidebook for facilitators
- a film
- a database
- an app

THE WORKBOOK:
LIVE YOUR POWER
Find the booklet in your language, fill it out on your computer or print it out. Use it to dive into your inner world in search of greater clarity and confidence about who you truly are, and then prepare that true self to step out into the outer world and show up in your full greatness.

EMPOWERMENT – A GUIDE FOR FACILITATORS

Be inspired by our practical book “Empowerment – a guide for Facilitators”, which was recently published in the Hosting Transformation Library.

ABOUT THE TEAM that created these resources
What is “Hosting Empowerment” all about?
As a partnership of seven organizations from 6 different European countries, how can we as hosts (e.g. facilitators, teachers, social workers or leaders) create ideal conditions that promote courage, self-confidence and self-efficacy? How can we empower ourselves and those we work with?
From 2020-2023 we developed concrete methods, tools and materials that strengthen people in difficult situations and those who care for them.
