GEYC is selecting 3 Romanian participants to take part in the “Training 4 Trainers” European project that will take place in Newcastle upon Tyne, United Kingdom, from 25th of October until 3rd of November 2014. This is a training course that aims to train youth workers to become trainers.
About the project
 |
| The Tyne Bridge, Newcastle upon Tyne |
The project Training 4 Trainers aims to train youth
workers to become trainers and provide them with the theory, skills and tools
necessary to design implement and evaluate effective training programmes themselves in order to
generate optimum learning outcomes and improved performance. The training course will
take place in England and will gather 26 participants from 8 European
countries. It is planned as an intensive 10 day long training course using the
method of non-formal education in order to create an appropriate learning
environment by focusing on
learning by experience, reflection on
the past activities of the participants, discussions about the
key competencies of youth work and
discovering training competencies and methodology. A team of highly competent
trainers will implement the activity ensuring that each participant will get adequate
learning guidelines and personal mentoring as well.
Specific focus of the training
will be made on active learning - how to understand it and to promote it when
working with young people. There is a lack of competent trainers in the youth
field who are able to work on this Youth in Action programme priority areas - thus
the training will directly contribute to the increase of the educational
activity and quality youth work done around the dimensions and act of youth
work and learning in Europe. The training course will contribute to the development
and expansion of a network of trainers and facilitators with the skills and
motivation to contribute to the quality and sustainability of the youth programmes
in Europe. It will include various types of learning activities and formats to
provide the youth workers with considerable flexibility in adapting the
educational programmes to the specific needs of participants.
