Summary: A training course for youth workers about empowerment of the young people they work with using self-exploration as a tool.
Target group: Youth workers, Youth leaders, volunteers.
For participants from: Youth in Action Programme Countries.
Group size: 25 participants
Details:
Target Group:
This training is aimed at youthworkers, youth leaders and volunteers, working in a non-formal learning setting, with young people that are experiencing social exclusion in different categories/backgrounds/target groups.
Participants get the opportunity to experience a learning journey.
Aim:The theme of this training is ‘Identity’. The aim is to enable participants to support the young people they work with in the development of their identity process and to plan their personal pathway in life. We will do this by bringing participants themselves on a journey of self-discovery. We believe that gaining a deeper understanding of who we are is an empowering process which can lead to positive life changes. We invite participants who are open to experience this personal journey and who are in a position to apply their learning to their work with young people after the training course. Empowering young people through this process could, for instance, lead to increased participation in society, in democratic life, or to increased employability.
Objectives:
• To support participants to become more aware of themselves and in doing so be enabled to make conscious choices and decisions that fit with their goals in life.
• To provide participants with tools to support their young people through a similar process.
• To look at how we as individuals can rely on our own resources. We try to discover how buoyant we are, how we can counter difficulties.
• To understand the forces that shape us as individuals. With this awareness of who we are we can make more conscious decisions and give a positive turn to our lives.
• To understand how our behaviour is influenced by our perception of ourselves, and by how others see us.
• To discover the new Erasmus Plus – Youth programme and its actions as a tool to support the objectives of this training.
• To encourage participants to imagine that ‘Everything is Possible!’, by giving them a positive and realistic impulse to improve their lives as they want to.
Methods used will:
Be based on non-formal education principles
- Encourage self-directed learning
- Include reflection Rely on peer-to-peer learning/sharing
- Incorporate experiential learning.
