Details:
“Special Effects” is an innovative 8-day training course for trainers, facilitators and youth workers who already have some experience in non-formal education and experiential learning. The programme is designed for people who are ready to learn, explore, discover and develop their skills, competences and know-how and will be able to use it later in their jobs and communities. One of the special effects of this course is the aspect of including activities focused on spirituality and nature based methods in the modern, European non formal education. The methodology is based on approaches where nature plays an important role and is present as the environment, tool or content. We will work on all the most important aspects of learning activities: programme structure, flow, methods, techniques, group dynamics, presentation skills, personality of the trainer, roles and balance in the training team and we will experience it all in a real life situation with school youngsters. The programme will be very flexible and we will be ready to adapt it following very closely the participants’ needs and expectations for the course; plus, a space will always be open for participants who will want a more active role, taking the initiative and practicing non formal education by actually doing it.
Objectives
• To develop skills and get knowledge related to providing effective youth work and training activities with special emphasis on nature-based and community-based approaches.
• To experience topics relevant to the course in a variety of interactive methods and participant-centred learning processes, such as Way of Council, Open Space, Threshold walk, reflection time and guided time in nature.
• To challenge some of the current clichés in the field of non formal education through examples and reflections on how concepts such as nature, open communication, spirituality, ceremonies and rites of passage can be included in contemporary educational and experiential activities.
• To create a social experience of community through sharing living and working spaces, participating in common tasks and daily practices, and to valorise this as an opportunity for learning and personal and social growth.
• To practise themes of the course in workshops with school youngsters and to reflect on this experience.
