If you have made your first steps into training others (volunteers, youth worker, young people) you would like to reflect on your paths as trainer, deepen it and consider European youth work developments as a plus, please come to U-Turn!!! “U-Turn: A learning journey for trainers in the youth field” is an initiative from a number of Erasmus+: Youth in Action National Agencies (E+: YiA NAs) sensing to offer opportunities to develop competences of trainers and facilitators of learning processes contributing to the quality development of youth work on local, national and European level. This project is part of the strategy of the “Trainer Competence Development Group” on European level aiming at a more holistic approach to training of and for trainers. This specific course is a possibility for people acting as trainer in the youth field to deepen their professional practice, connect their work in a more meaningful way to a European dimension and shape the future of training field.
