The project “Training+
for Youth” has been an initiative of Gantalcalá Association (Spain) together
with other 9 organizations from Italy (Associazione Culturale Link), Sweden (Integration
För Alla), Estonia (Continuous Action), Romania (Asociatia Tineretul Global),
Greece (EURITI), Germany (Jugendwerk der AWO Württemberg e.V), Turkey (GENCLIK
ORGANIZASYONLARI DERNEGI), Bulgaria (Association “Focus – European center for
development”), and Portugal (Associação Spin para o Intercâmbio, Formação e
Cooperação entre os Povos), within the Erasmus+ Programme, KA1 Learning
Mobility of Individuals, Mobility for Young People and Youth Workers. The
training course was developed in the city of Sevilla, in Pablo de Olavide
University from 7th to 14th September 2014, and each organisation was
represented by 3 project managers, Youth leaders and
Youth workers.
The main reason for the
organization of such a course could be explained as a need of “awakening” the
youth workers who don´t know how to organize and develop a project within the
new Erasmus+ Programme, making a deeper focus on Key action 1: Mobility project
for young people and youth workers (Youth Exchanges, European Voluntary
Service, and Youth workers' training and networking. And Key Action 2:
Cooperation for innovation and the exchange of good practices (Strategic
Partnerships in the field of Education, Training and Youth. This Training
course has explored different ways of participation in the field of youth that
the new Erasmus+ Programme offer for the period 2014-2020.
The methodology used in
this project has been chosen after
taking into consideration that
many youth workers usually get the knowledge by the, somehow, general content
units, they cannot go in depth and have many difficulties to put into practice.
That´s why an alternative approach have been implemented, using the Non Formal
Education tools and techniques in an efficient way for each one of the
workshops and activities carried on during the training. Regarding this point,
it is important to highlight the use of ICT´s that improve team-work and
Communication strategies. This accurate `modus operandis´ has guaranted a
successful implementation of the Key action 1: Mobility project for young
people and youth workers (Youth Exchanges, European Voluntary Service, and
Youth workers' training and networking. And Key Action 2: Cooperation for
innovation and the exchange of good practices (Strategic Partnerships in the
field of Education, Training and Youth.
