Summary:
The main purpose of the EYE Opener TC is to enable young people who do not have access to youth exchange training courses, to undertake training and be part of the decision-making process from the very beginning of the project.
Target group:
Youth workers, Youth leaders, 1 Adult Youth Leader/Worker + 1 or 2 Young People: between 15-18 years old. Two leaders could attend if there were two young people (mixed male-female).
For participants from: Youth in Action Programme Countries.
Group size: 40 participants (aiming at between 12 and 18 pairing groups).
Details:
EYEOPENER offers an international learning experience to young people and practitioners active in the youth work, enabling them to develop their competences in setting up quality Youth Exchange projects under the Youth in Action Programme.
The objectives of EYEOPENER are:
• to provide an informed introduction to the Youth in Action Programme, focusing on Youth Exchanges and their capacity to enhance active (European) citizenship, especially (though not exclusively) for newcomers to the programme;
• to offer an individual and group learning experience through a simulated process on setting up a Youth Exchange project;
• to develop the necessary knowledge, skills, and attitudes to organise a Youth Exchange, based on non-formal learning practice, principles, and the quality standards of the Youth in Action Programme;
• to enable participants to reflect on their learning and to familiarise themselves with Youthpass – the strategy on the recognition of non-formal learning in the youth field, its technical tool to produce Youthpass Certificates, and its application in Youth Exchanges in particular and the Youth in Action Programme in general;
• to offer the opportunity to meet possible partner groups and to make contacts in other countries.
The partnership balance between adults and young people is crucial for the success of EYE Opener. Each ‘home team’ must consist of at least one young person and one adult youth worker / youth leader. Two young people can attend from a group, with one or two youth worker / youth leader adults, if appropriate. Two young people is the maximum per ‘home team’. It is important that the youth worker / youth leader adult(s) undertakes responsibility for the behavior of the young person(s). For this reason, it is important the young person(s) knows the adult(s). It is also advisable for the adult(s) to agree a behavioural code with the young person(s) before attending EYE Opener.
