Non-formal education has been used as a powerful tool to empower youth workers and immigrants. Through the Erasmus+ program, art and creativity have been used to foster the development of skills and competencies in this vulnerable population. Art-based learning has been able to provide an engaging platform for these individuals, allowing them to express their creativity while also gaining new knowledge. By incorporating art into the curriculum, participants are able to learn in a more meaningful way, while also developing their own unique talents. This type of learning is especially beneficial for youth workers and immigrants as it helps them develop the confidence they need to succeed in their respective fields..

Youth workers are able to use the Erasmus+ program in order to create learning programs that provide a meaningful experience for the participants. For example, one of these programs includes a project-based learning cycle, which allows youth workers to implement this type of learner-centered approach in order to engage their students. The project-based learning cycle consists of four phases: understanding the context of the work, planning and organizing, making decisions and implementing projects, and reflecting on outcomes. This process is created with an emphasis on activities that will engage youth workers with their participants in a meaningful way.
