Details:
Did you know that by 2050 the number of young people in Europe has decreased by quarter? That the number of people of working age compared with the number of people beyond retirement age will drop in next 40 years from an average of 3,8 today to 1,2 in Japan, 1,5 in Italy and 2,6 in USA? Young people have a crucial role to play in meeting the challenges and opportunities facing the modern society in the years ahead. With the recent global recession, demographic and socio-economic changes as well as developing values and goals, young people are to be seen as the main resource in achieving sustainability, solidarity and equality in the society. If you are a youth policy maker or a youth work practitioner on local, regional or national level, work with issues relating young people on daily basis and would like to deepen your knowledge in different areas of youth work then Tallinn University Pedagogical College welcomes you in our 2-week summer course Shaping the Future: Challenges in Modern Youth Work. The course gives an opportunity for youth workers at all levels and backgrounds to develop their knowledge and skills necessary in their work with/for young people. Through the programme we aim to support the professional development of youth workers and youth leaders by extending their competencies in youth policy development, strategic planning and social entrepreneurship and involvement of modern media tools in youth work. In addition to 2-week study programme, the course will provide platform for youth workers from different countries, encouraging debates, development of ideas and establishing contacts for further co-operation. The curricula of the course has been designed according to the trends and policies of modern youth work, offering a programme supporting capacity building of youth work professionals, developing their theoretical and practical skills on various domains of youth work.
