Summary:

Target group: Young people, Youth leaders, Youth Policy Makers, Youth workers.
For participants from:
Belgium - FL, Denmark, Hungary, Ireland, Latvia, Netherlands, Poland, Romania, Slovenia, Iceland, Norway.
Group size: 35 participants.
Details:
Participants:
Teams of 1 adult (youth worker, social worker, leader, etc) + 1-2 young people (15-18 years of age). Teams should be motivated in organising a youth exchange in the future. This is a good opportunity for finding partners too. The training course is designed for voluntary and professional youth workers working directly with young people and young people themselves, who are interested in setting up international exchange projects. The course is mainly aimed at those who have no experience of organising an international Youth Exchange under the Youth in Action Programme. However it doesn’t matter whether you are just interested in doing a Youth Exchange or are definitely planning to do one. If you represent an organisation or group with little experience of Youth Exchange, but you see that you could still benefit from the input of an EYEOPENER training course, you can still participate, remembering that the course is essentially designed for beginners.
Aim and objectives:
The aim of EYEOPENER is to offer an international learning experience to young people and practitioners active in the youth work field, enabling them to develop their competences in setting up quality Youth Exchange projects under the Youth in Action Programme.
The objectives of EYEOPENER are:
• to provide an informed introduction to the Youth in Action Programme, focusing on Youth Exchanges and their capacity to enhance active (European) citizenship, especially (though not exclusively) for newcomers to the programme;
• to offer an individual and group learning experience through a simulated process on setting up a Youth Exchange project;
• to develop the necessary knowledge, skills, and attitudes to organise a Youth Exchange, based on non-formal learning practice, principles, and the quality standards of the Youth in Action Programme;
• to enable participants to reflect on their learning and to familiarise themselves with Youthpass – the strategy on the recognition of non-formal learning in the youth field, its technical tool to produce Youthpass Certificates, and its application in Youth Exchanges in particular and the Youth in Action Programme in general;
• to offer the opportunity to meet possible partner groups and to make contacts in other countries.
The main aim is to train people and a sub-goal is to offer the opportunity for participants to find partners. Other things, like getting to know other youth realities, are not an aim, but a (nice) side effect.
Costs:
The travel costs are covered by the sending National Agency. Please contact your National Agency to find out how it is done in your country and whether there is a participation fee. The Finnish and the Dutch National Agencies will cover the costs during the training.
Working language: English.
