Details:
“Coaching is a way to effectively empower people to find their own answers and encourage and support them on their path to make live-giving and life-changing choices.” The general objective of the ’empowerment through coaching’ training is to train and empower educators (youth workers, youth leaders, EVS mentors,...) in using coaching techniques and competences in an Erasmus+/Youth in Action context (grassroots youth work, youth exchanges, EVS framework etc.)
Why coaching?
“Coaching is a development process in which an individual is supported while achieving a specific professional or personal competence, result or goal”. Coaching as a method for personal and professional development has become increasingly important and valued in different areas of society and many professionals either have their personal coach and/or coach themselves as part of their own professional role. In European youth work, the importance of being able to support ‚learners’ individually – whether at the grassroots, everyday level or within a European youth exchange or the EVS framework - has become more and more evident. With the 'Empowerment through coaching’ training, we want to offer people, active within E+/Youth in Action, the opportunity to practice coaching skills and techniques they can use in their own work and projects to empower the individuals they work with to take more ownership of their life paths and choices. The process of the training will start with empowering participants themselves! This will happen through practicing coaching techniques directly with each other - using real life issues and choices participants are facing either on a professional or personal level.
Methodology
The training methodology will be:
• Based on non-formal education principles;
• Encourage self-directed learning? and learning-by-doing;
• Include individual and group reflection;
• Rely on peer-to-peer learning and experience sharing.?
