Details:
The training course is designed for those who are directly involved in the support system around the EVS volunteer (mentors and task-related support persons) on the hosting, sending and coordinating side. The participants from Sending and Hosting organisations should already have some experience in EVS (minimum of being in the process of sending or hosting a volunteer, better having been already sending or receiving the first volunteer).
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 factors 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;
• 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 the Youthpass.
The programme of the SOHO TC is built around six quality aspects relevant to the support people around EVS volunteer. During the course participants will deepen their understanding and increase their competences in realation to the identified quality aspects (reflected practice – selection and inclusion - international partnership – support system - learning in EVS – recognition of learning through Youthpass) thanks to variety of training methods like simulation exercises, case studies, self-reflection tools, conceptual inputs and working groups.
The main subjects
Understanding the concept of quality in EVS: we will favour a common ground among participants to understand the concept of quality in EVS. We will reflect on its values, reasons, interests and needs of all actors involved. We will support the process of understanding EVS as “learning service”, linked with the concept of European citizenship.
The learning dimension of EVS service: EVS is very much about learning – non-formal and informal. It is about acquiring new life experiences, but also gaining new competences – getting new knowledge, improving skills and developing attitudes. Young people can really learn a lot in EVS! But in order to learn effectively and efficiently, young people need to be properly supported by – YOU! During the course you will go through the different stages of the learning process and you will get acquainted with the concept of Key Competences and Youthpass.
Implementing a competent support system in an EVS project: whether you are a mentor or a task-related support person in a sending or in a hosting project, it is important to know your role and responsibilities, and to develop competences. We will explore the different dimensions of supporting an EVS volunteer. After this training course you can define your role in the context of your organisation and use the practical experience to develop this role.
Partnerships in EVS: issues as the importance of building up a partnership with the partner organisation and the volunteer, keeping the contact, communication and co-operation, and the intercultural dimension of international partnerships will be dealt with. A good partnership is of great value for the success of an EVS project. Please note though, that this is not a partnership seminar, even if there will be opportunities to meet and discuss in an informal way among the participants.
