Super Volunteer - Intercultural voluntary mission training course can bring some fresh ideas and approaches in Learning in the field of volunteering and the field of Intercultural Dialogue. International voluntary experiences such as Evs are great opportunities to practise intercultural learning and to explore culture diversity. At the same time also in volunteering at local and national level, cultural diversity and intercultural dialogue are in question because of the coexistence of different cultures in society and in the same organisation. But are organisations and youth workers prepared enough to support intercultural learning process and intercultural dialogue in voluntary activities at local and international level? An international team of trainers is preparing a training course on how to support intercultural learning processes of volunteers and alternative approaches towards it. The training course will involve, during 7 days (included travel days), 22 youth workers and leaders dealing with intercultural learning and volunteering at local or international level (such as ngo representatives, Evs mentors, etc. )
Main aims are to learn how to deal with cultural diversity, to use cultural diversity as a tool to discover identity and to work with concrete aspects of cultural diversity in a specific context such as international voluntarism. Come and join us on this journey where Super Volunteer is a hero and makes all the prejudices come down to zero!

• Develop knowledge and competence in key concepts of international voluntary activities: mentoring system in sending and hosting organizations and share good practices on this topic;
• Develop knowledge and competence in key concepts of intercultural learning and life long learning with young people;
• Pointing out the importance of international voluntarism and cultural issues in YIA Programme;
• Developing tools, activities, strategies for improvement of youth work on local level focused on international voluntarism and cultural diversity;
• Promoting multiplying effect of youth workers in local participation.
Methodology
The methodology that is going to be used is based on experiential learning and alternative approaches towards voluntary work and intercultural learning. A Specific feature of the training is practical focus on tools and exchange of tools among youth practitioners, therefore in certain moment it will consist of two parallel working groups in one TC, for the sake of proposing more tools to everyone.
Participants will be able to experience Super Volunteer with shared sessions at the end of every working day, where they’ll build a common learning experience through sharing, evaluation, discussion and integration of both groups’ experiences. Also, another specific quality of this training course is the focus on tools and concrete use of learning products, therefore participants will be supported and guided on development, implementation and evaluation of their own tools for intercultural learning and dialogue.
Costs:
Participants have to cover 30% of travel cost to reach training course venue. All the other costs will be covered by the project grants.
Working language: English.
