Bridges for Trainers is a space to debate on trends and issues related to training in the youth field. The event will serve as a space to (re-)connect and explore the life of trainers nowadays in the political Europe.

There will also be  a strong emphasis to connect and network with other active trainers and stakeholders. 

After several online editions since 2020, the German National Agency in cooperation with SALTO T&C is glad to invite the community of practice to Bonn. Since the last residential Bridges for Trainers in 2018, the reality of the community of practice has changed significantly. Bridges for Trainers 2024 will explore what we are leaving behind and what we are taking into the future as trainers, training providers, National Agencies and SALTOs in the European Youth programmes.
