Summary:
Learning is essential in Youth in Action projects. The Lab looks at learning from a logical point of view: What our need for learning is and how do we build a method to learn? We look youth exchanges as learning opportunities and design projects together.
Target group: Youth workers, Youth leaders, People working directly with a group of young people between 13-25 years of age.
For participants from: Albania, Kosovo, Macedonia, Former Yugoslav Republic of, Youth in Action Programme Countries.
Group size: 30 participants
Details:
The Need-Based Method Lab will look at working with young people from our practical point of view. It gives youth workers an opportunity to come aware of their working methods and develop other ways of working with young people. These can be designed active methods and/or more general ways of working. Participants come to the training with their need. It may be a thing your young people complain or quarrel about, something that bothers them and should be discussed. You can evaluate your own ways of dealing with young people and try new ways to explore topics. Methods give young people an opportunity to learn about their topic of interest. We will also look at youth exchanges as a way to explore the same topics together and find good methods to discuss them.
Aim:
Improve quality of 1.1 through making youth exchanges a better learning experience.
Objectives:
• Engaging and challenging to go back to the basics: Why do we use methodology?;
• Exploring learning: Discovering how, where and why learning happens, in order to support it;
• Discover the elements of learning methodology, and creating “tailor made” methodology to the needs of participants and their young people;
• Build and support partnerships around methodology and ideas.
Themes:
• Learning to learn, facilitating learning;
• Needs of young people as a starting point;
• Essence of a method;
• Elements of Non-Formal Learning;
• Partnership building;
• Youth exchanges as a learning environment.
Costs:
The Finnish National Agency of Youth in Action Programme will cover international participants' costs considering travelling to Finland, accommodation and meals during the activity and the activity costs. The participants are entitled to acquire a travel insurance, which will cover unused travel tickets in the situation when tickets are not used. Participants from the programme and the neighbouring countries must take care of their domestic/international travel to the nearest airport. Airfares are covered by the Finnish National Agency. The selected participants will get an email which explains them how to book the tickets and when and where to arrive. Booking of flight tickets will not require the use of participants own money. Local trips may need to be covered from own resources. Sending participants to the activity will not cost anything for the sending National Agencies, we will cover all the international travel costs of the participants.
