During Challenge Accepted, Erasmus+ initiative organized for the third time by the Dutch non-profit association SIW – International Volunteer Projects – , participants will jointly analyze operational contexts and activities based on reciprocal relationships or through Learning Communities.

The training program aims to develop a person-centered approach to better understand and address individual challenges and work collaboratively toward empowerment. It consists of the following phases: September 2025: online preparation for participants; October 18-25, 2025: training course in Cantabria, Spain; November 2025–February 2026: implementation of learning; February 2026: online evaluation session.
We will explore creative ways to become aware of our own strengths, values, and talents, learning to collaborate, ask for help, and give/receive support: in short, to actively participate in all phases of a project.
