Background
During the last years youth participation became one of the most important issues in youth work and youth policy but also more in broader sense in society. Within the Youth in Action programme youth participation is emphasised as a precondition for active citizenship. Coaching is introduced as a way of supporting young people with the aim to increase their participation within the projects and in community/society. Number of events and specific work is done in the field of coaching during past years:
• SALTO Participation Resource Centre published a Coaching Guide. This is a publication on coaching Youth Initiatives and can be used as a tool to reflect and understand the importance of youth participation and ways of supporting young people.
• In cooperation with several National Agencies SALTO Participation has organised international training courses Peer 2 Peer and Coach 2 Coach focusing on youth participation and coaching.
• Other international and national developments on coaching and youth participation.
With this training course Coach 2 Coach: Coaching for Youth Participation the idea is to focus on learning how coaching can be applied in supporting groups of young people who run youth project within the Youth in Action Programme and other youth targeted programmes of BiJ. In other words, how coaching can increase youth participation in any of the youth project.
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 and other BIJ programmes by supporting and facilitating experienced youth workers in improving their 'coaching competences'.
What for?
• 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
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.
