Data: 09/02/2015

Call for Trainers: "From Diary to Certificate" - SALTO Training and Cooperation Resource Centre is looking for 1 expert/facilitator.

Application deadline: February 18 (until the end of the day).


Description


“From Diary to Certificate” is a seminar aiming to fill the gap between writing down one’s learning during the project, and describing the acquired competences on a Youthpass certificate. What is such a certificate for, what can one do with it? What should be written on the certificate to make the best out of it? How should one describe the learning outcomes? What and whom should one keep in mind?

And on the other hand: how to best support this process of formulating the learning outcomes, while respecting the individual experiences and achievements?

The seminar will look at the needs of the stakeholders and analyse the challenges in the process, aiming at developing concrete measures to answer these needs and to deal with the challenges. The event will gather about 30 participants from all Europe, experienced youth workers/leaders with knowledge in the area and interest to develop the topic.

In parallel to the preparation of the seminar, a practical booklet will be prepared that will upon its completion also reflect the outcomes of the discussions during the seminar.
