Call for trainers: 2nd European Youth Work Convention - Jint vzw - Deadline 12 January 2015

Jint vzw is looking for: 20 facilitators/workshop leaders


Description


In the context of the Belgian Chairmanship of the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe the 2nd European Youth Work Convention will be organised on 27-30 April 2015 in Brussels, exactly five years after the 1st one that took place in Ghent, Belgium in 2010. Since then, numerous changes have taken place in the field of youth work in Europe and the opportunity should be seized to work towards a truthful youth work strategy. In this respect the 2nd EYW Convention aims at reviewing the developments in the field from a new and positive perspective and deliver a strong message at political level.
