Project summary
The project will bring together a maximum of 16 professional youth workers to work together to explore concepts of citizenship and to learn skills which they can use with their own target groups to support them in becoming active and creative citizens within Europe. The impact of the training will therefore be not only on participants, who will have the opportunity to develop themselves, but also on the target groups of the organizations that they represent.
The aims of the training are to explore the theme of the active and creative citizen; to advocate for the techniques of informal learning; to explore the Youth in Action program and place it in the context of youth work; to develop cooperation across Europe and enhance European networking
The objectives of this project are for participants to learn about youth work and youth arts practice in different parts of Europe; to develop a shared understanding of European citizenship; to be able to use the techniques of informal learning with young people within their own organizations; to have a good working knowledge of the EU Youth in Action Program; to develop new projects together.
The training is designed as a process of informal learning and peer education using participants’ own experiences in the fields of youth work, youth arts and international cooperation. To be successful this will require participants to have an active input in sharing knowledge and experience, and to be willing to learn new skills from the trainers and from each other.
The methods employed over the 6 days of the training will include verbal and visual, presentations, small group discussions, plenary debates, game playing, drama exercises, study visits and cultural presentations.
