Details:
This training course is aimed at developing basic competences in facilitation of learning processes and providing learning oriented support for EVS volunteers. It will specifically focus on deepening the understanding of facilitation, improve competences of EVS mentors to support volunteers in defining and satisfying their learning needs, providing a space for reflection and practice, deepen the theoretical knowledge on learning and create space for sharing experience and practice of mentoring. The overall aim is to support and empower EVS mentors through developing competences needed to facilitate the learning process of EVS volunteers.
The specific objectives of the project:
• To improve professional competences of EVS mentors, which will help them to facilitate activities with young volunteers with learning orientated approach;
• To provide space for practicing and sharing experiences in facilitation in a safe and constructive environment;
• To ensure deeper understanding of what is a learning process;
• To develop essential facilitation skills;
• Create a framework for facilitation based on non-formal education and self-directed learning;
• Deepen the theoretical knowledge and understanding of the concept and implementation of facilitation as a tool to support the personal development/learning process of volunteers;
• To bring a theoretical background of facilitation into a practical framework;
• Sustain the experience exchange and impact of training outcomes after the training through a community of practice and trainers’ support after the training course.
Methodology
Our course and its methodology are inspired by the values and principles of non-formal learning and self-directed learning. Because of this in the development of the programme we will focus on needs of participants. For this reason, selected participants will be asked to conduct self-assessment and based on the results we will develop sessions encouraging cooperative and intercultural learning. The team will facilitate the learning that will mostly come from participants’ and group experiences. We will also try to respond to different learning styles and respect differences in the group. This also means that a big responsibility to make this training course lies with participants. As learning is a team sport each participant will be not only encouraged to be an active learner responsible for his/her own learning, but also for supporting the learning of others.
