Details:
Non Formal Education has existed for as long as we know. But only recently it has been given the clarity and recognized importance it deserves! We are therefore also very pleased and enthusiast, knowing that you will participate in this Training Course (TC) focusing specifically on Non Formal Education. We hope that this training course will make a change in your daily work! We are looking forward to welcome you on this TC and to work together with you on the different aspects and quality elements within Non Formal Education! We hope that you are as excited as we are with this TC which is specially designed for experienced and new users of the Youth in Action Program (YiA). This TC is not only based on a ‘one way information-flow’ but requires a pro-active participation from you. Therefore the importance of this information before the start of a hopefully adventurous, challenging and inspiring TC!
To do what’ more concretely?
• To stimulate the participants to feel and reflect about the power of NFE by experimenting different kind of non formal educational methods.
• To analyse the role and perception of NFE in our different countries within a common Europe.
• To understand how NFE methods and approach can be used to promote cultural diversity and intercultural learning (ICL)..
• To fight against the growing consuming approaches towards young people in the non formal education field.
• To explore meanings, roles, and complementarities of different educational approaches and methods (formal, non formal, informal).
• To reconsider daily youth work practices.
• To understand the principles of NFE within YiA and its effects on elements as programme building etc.
This TC can also provide:
• An opportunity to meet possible partner groups and to make contacts in other countries.
The pedagogical process:
The TC is not limited to the couple of days the participants spend together but starts before the actual encounter. Participants should therefore be well aware that they will be actively involved from the very beginning.
A pre-training immersion:
• Starting 6 weeks before the training, through the “NFE News”, participants will receive weekly news which invites reflection on pedagogical issues and collect information / documentation. Participants are part of the building of this NFE News.
• Issues / topics tackled: perception / recognition of NFE in your country, methods you use/have used…
A fundamental flow during the training:
• Experiencing: different educational settings, different non formal education methods (role play, simulation game, exercises...).
• Reflecting: on the methods and its impacts, on the power and limits of NFE, on building a pedagogical process…
• Transferring: to the own reality of participants, in order to improve ways of working with young people.
• Sharing: different perceptions, current situations and experiences.
• Developing: the building capacity of the participants, by including them in the decision process of the project designing (participants will decide some sessions they feel they need to have) but also in the implementation of the program (“Power to the People – the People who are you” moments).
The after-training consolidation?
Trainers will be available for the following 2 months through internet for a supportive and consulting approach towards the defined action plans of the participants. Each participant will have 1 of the trainers as their mentor during this period.

This project is financed by the Youth in Action Programme.
