Why such a Training Course?
To increase the quality and support of youth group projects (e.g. Youth Exchanges, Youth Initiative, Youth Democracy Projects) in the frame of the Youth in Action programme by supporting and facilitating experienced youth workers in improving their 'coaching competences'.

• To reflect and share coaching understanding and experiences;
• To work towards developing a common understanding of the term & actions of coaching;
• To be able to identify and improve knowledge, skills and attitudes of coaching;
• To be able to identify and improve their own learning processes as coach;
• To prepare participants to transfer their learning experiences with other coaches in their countries (multiplier effect) and apply in their work with young people;
• To be able to identify available support & resources required for the coaching process;
• To understand the relevance of the coaching process in supporting young people’s active participation;
• To experience methods, tools, materials, practice and potential for using coaching within youth group projects;
• The course will offer place for 26 participants with the following profile:
• Youth workers, social workers, youth leaders, trainers… who are directly working with youth group projects as a coach/support person during the creation and development of the projects;
• Project officers in the National Agencies who are actively supporting the applications and processes of youth group projects;
• Willingness to work as coaches (multipliers) supporting learning of young people involved in youth projects within the Youth in Action Programme;
• Able to communicate and work in English;
• Resident in the Youth in Action programme countries (27 EU countries + Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Turkey and Croatia).
Which methods will be used?
The course will be based on the principles and practice of non-formal education taking into account participants needs, motivations and experiences. Communication between participants and mutual understanding will be encouraged in order to enable exchange of knowledge, skills and attitudes and to reflect upon them. The group will act as a resource for the learning process taking into account individual and group learning. A diversity of working methods will be used to highlight the role of the ‘coach’ and the approaches for supporting youth group projects. To ensure a balance between theory and practice, a range of workshops, inputs, simulation exercises, presentations, discussions, debate and sharing will be included. Previous experiences in coaching youth group projects will be the starting point of the programme and of the learning process. Space will be given for regular feedback and reflections and review.
