Details:
“Follow the Yellow Brick Road - Journey through the Land of Oz” is an innovative 7-day Erasmus+ training course for youth workers, trainers and youth leaders raising the question most of us face nowadays – how can we in today’s economy create satisfying reality for us and choose the right career path? In our training course we will look for “the element” - having an experience that allows you to reflect on why you do what you do in work in order to enable young people you are working with to do the same. “Follow the Yellow Brick Road” takes its name from the movie "The Wizard of Oz". We chose this name because it is perfectly related to the topic of challenge, change, journey and transformation and that's what the training course is going to be about. The programme involves theoretical inputs and practical workshops, discussions, group processes and individual work. A substantial part of the programme will take place outdoors in nature. The training course will take place in Sermugnano, a small village in central Italy, from the 14th to the 21st of January 2017. It will involve 24 participants from 12 EU countries: Italy, Portugal, Romania, Czech Republic, Poland, Spain, UK, Netherlands, Belgium, Ireland, Hungary and Greece
Aims and objectives of the course:
The course wants to bring the participants on a journey of the "yellow brick road" (the story of "The Wizard of Oz" creates a leading thread in our programme). We aim to provide participants with tools and inputs to help them to be more aware of themselves, their skills and their competences - and also how to empower young people they are working with to do the same. In particular, we would like to:
• To create a space for personal development, by exploring personal talents, aspirations and potential through a variety of non formal education and experiential tools;
• To explore and reflect on ‘change’ and ‘responsibility’, as ways to define and reach personal and professional objectives and live a more fulfilling life;
• To experience tools and methodologies that can be utilized to enable, empower and inspire young people through non-formal education and youth work;
• To create a social experience of community through sharing work and life spaces, domestic work and practical tasks related to the community life.
Working methods
“Follow the Yellow Brick Road” is an interactive and experiential training course that aims to develop participants' skills for self-empowerment, ownership of their life, dealing with challenging situations as well as foster their youth worker skills to support young people dealing with change. This training course is organised within the context of Non-Formal Education (NFE). This means that we will have an interactive, participatory, horizontal and non-academic approach. What you give is what you get! We expect that participants share their knowledge and their own expertise and actively contribute in the programme, exchange and build together experiences and share feelings and opinions. An important part of the programme will be the connection with nature and experiencing outdoors and during the week the participants will be invited to possibly “face their demons”, experience self development in environments that may be unfamiliar to them and to challenge themselves physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. To what extent they experience this will be entirely up to them.
Costs:
The project has been financed by the Erasmus+ programme. The costs related to accommodation and food will be completely covered by the hosting organisation and the travel costs will be covered according to the Erasmus+ standards.
