Methodology and Structure of the course
The course is designed to give participants the opportunity to experience, and reflect upon, being a trainee and a trainer. It is designed as a mutual learning process where participants can learn from each other and from the experiences they encounter during the course. Due to its long-term character, the course is designed in such a way that the three seminars are only ONE of the aspects shaping the learning process of participants. Acting as a responsible self-directed learner is a key feature of ToT. Participants have to be recruited and paid for by one of the National Agencies for the Youth in Action programme, usually the one the participant lives in.
Participants are expected:
• To have been already involved at least three times in a team of trainers designing, implementing and evaluating a training course in the framework of Non-Formal Education.
• To have had international experience in the youth work field with a function of responsibility (not only as a participant) – organising international youth projects, leading a youth exchange, mentoring EVS volunteers, etc.
• To have the potential and need to develop training competences and act after the course as a trainer for European Youth in Action projects and/or for training courses organised by the National Agencies of the Youth in Action programme.
• To show initiative and willingness to self-direct their own learning process.
• To be prepared to reflect on and question their own beliefs and approaches as trainers.
• To be able to run training courses in English.
Costs:
Participation fees need to be checked with the National Agency (NA) of your country. Being selected by your NA, expenses for accommodation and travel will be covered by the NAs.
Working language: English.
