What is the SOHO training course?
SOHO is a Network Training open for all 33 National Agencies of the Youth in Action Programme and targets at two of the three main partners of a long-term European Voluntary Service project: Sending Organisation and Hosting Organisation. By bringing together representatives of Sending and Hosting Organisations from different European countries the SOHO TC aims at improving the international co-operation and consequently increasing the quality of EVS projects. The international dimension of the SOHO TC is given by the different nationalities of participants and trainers team. This is an asset for the intercultural dimension of the course! The course methodology is based on the concept of experiential learning, in an atmosphere where participants can learn a lot from each other and have a lot of fun!
Aim and objectives:
The overall aim of the SOHO TC is:
To increase the quality of EVS activities through development of competencies (knowledge, skills and attitudes) of key actors involved in the support system around EVS volunteer.
The specific objectives of the course are:
• To get a better understanding of the concept of EVS as “learning service” and related quality aspects in EVS;
• To improve the ability for co-operation and working in international partnership SOHO Info Pack for Participants 5 Version January, 2011;
• To reflect on the roles, responsibilities and challenges within the EVS volunteer support system;
• To raise awareness of the learning dimension in EVS and provide tools for learning support;
• To support the recognition of non formal learning in EVS through the implementation of theYouthpass.
An additional benefit of the training course is the valorisation of EVS through the exchange of best practices and experiences among participants. In the training course participants have the opportunity to meet and to get to know other organisations, but contact making is not directly a priority of the training course.
The programme:
The programme of the SOHO TC is built around four quality aspects relevant to the support system implemented in an EVS project. During the course participants and trainers will analyse the identified quality aspects (concept of EVS – international partnership – learning dimension of EVS – support system) thanks to simulation exercises, case studies, and working groups. Besides, the trainers’ team will provide activities to improve the group dynamics and a final evaluation.
