Details:
Summer is over and we are starting a new season, so this is the perfect opportunity to bring some fresh ideas and approaches in the field of Cultural Diversity and Intercultural Dialogue and Learning. An international team of trainers is preparing a training course on intercultural learning and alternative approaches towards it. We will be exploring and using different approaches and tools that youth workers could use when organizing activity related to cultural diversity issues. Main aims are to learn how to deal with cultural diversity, to use cultural diversity as a tool to discover identity, to work with concrete aspects of cultural diversity and integration of it in youth work and to foster future international projects and collaborations. Come and join us on this journey where Captain Culture is our hero and he is going to take all prejudices down to zero! Captain Culture is an experiential 8 days training course (including travelling days).
Objectives for participants:
• Become aware of the importance that influence of culture has on person’s behaviour and identity.
• Recognize and be sensitive for differences that other cultures bring.
• Develop knowledge and competence in key concepts of intercultural learning and lifelong learning with young people.
• Acknowledge the Youth in Action Programme as a tool for intercultural learning and Youth work.
• Be provided with information about existing possibilities and conditions for the development of youth co-operation projects.
• Reflect about the importance, possibilities and obstacles of cultural diversity when organizing international youth projects or other youth projects involving ethnic minorities
• Exchange best practices among youth workers in working within multicultural environment.
• Develop tools, activities, strategies for improvement of youth work on local level focused on cultural diversity.
• Be supported to promote multiplying effect of youth work in local participation.
• Develop an informal network of youth workers and youth leaders between the EU countries.
• Identify common criteria and approaches for follow-up projects and initiatives developed on this training course.
Methodology:
The methodology that is going to be used is based on experiential learning and alternative approaches towards 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 Captain Culture from any of the two angles, 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. Since the specific quality of this training course is the focus on tools and concrete use of learning products, participants will be supported and guided on the development, implementation and evaluation of their own tools for intercultural learning and dialogue.
Costs:
Participation fee: 30€. 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. Women's Skills has received financial support from Youth in Action programme Action 4.3.
