Programme:
The programme (see in Annex 1) is designed to support participants in recognizing the way they perceive risk and to apply the learning into their work with young people in their organisations. The participants were coming from various levels of understanding of what risk is so the programme was designed to ensure that from an early stage the participants would have a common understanding of what risk is. The programme focused on the relationship between culture and risk and the various elements that shape people’s reaction to risk i.e. laws, customs, attitudes, life experience, reactions to new environments, the use of power and how abuse is defined in different cultures. Once the foundation was set in terms of people’s understanding of risk and how they think about risk it was time to build ways to manage risks when they appear. Risk management 1&2 brought the participants into the Youth in Action Programme and challenged them to manage the risks that they could be faced during all the stages of an international youth project i.e. planning, partner finding, application, implementation, final report and follow up. Once the risks were identified the process for assessing the risks was introduced so that the controls could be put in place to manage the risks ensuring that they were reduced where possible. Despite all the planning things can go wrong when working with young people so the programme focused on managing crises situations in international youth projects by using real life scenarios asking the participants to agree how they would react and manage this situation that was presented to them. The next part of the programme focused on developing ways of including young people in managing risks. Many times there are opportunities missed by organisations to involve young people in controlling risks so this is an ideal opportunity to explore the learning of new competencies and skills at a young age. The final part of the programme enabled the participants to process their own learning during the training course and to focus on the educational dimension of risk. They were asked to reflect on what they learned and to record practical steps that they can take to improve their practice in their work ensuring that risks can be identified and controlled. There was an input on Youthpass and participants were facilitated to start the process of recording the competencies they gained during the training course.
The programmes included daily reflection groups where the participants discussed aspects of the day’s learning and a representative from each group reported the main issues arising to the trainers ensuring a flow of information throughout the programme. The final evaluation consisted of a form and interactive methods capturing the mood and atmosphere of the participants. The final feedback was taken in terms of their perception of risk and if it has changed as a result of the training course. Costs:
