The programme
"Volunteering for social transformation" is designed as an open space of mutual learning, based on non formal education methodologies. The training will last 8/9 full days. Such length in a Training Course it is not so common nowadays, in a society where usually contents flow too quickly. We consider it is a very important characteristic of this training “made in Esplac”: it allows for participants to go deeper in contents and renders the experiential and living together part as a key element of the course. This is why we encourage participants to join us full of energy for the full duration of the training. The training course will be implemented with the support of a Team composed by trainers from the Pool of the Directorate of Youth and Sport of the Council of Europe, the Pool of the European Youth Forum, freelance trainers and volunteers of the International Commission of Esplac. In total, a group of 6 Team members committed to the course success.
