On 1-5 November, the study session “Advancing at constructing Safe Learning Space in Non-Formal Education” was held at European Youth Centre Budapest in cooperation with the Human Rights Education Network (HREYN) and the World Organisation of Scouts Movement (WOSM).

The five-day study session gathered 26 participants who worked on and shared experiences on safe spaces and related concepts (such as comfort, brave space, self-care, security..).

The participants were educators or youth workers with an interest to gain more competences in creating safe spaces in learning environments. Through individual and group activities participants focused on various tools for creating a safe space, and reflected on this concept especially in relation to human rights education and in dealing with controversial or conflictual issues.

As an outcome of the study session, participants co-created a glossary on terms related to the concept of safe space, that can be used by other practitioners.
