Dear Friends,
We are glad to invite you to IUSY’s Training of Trainers of IUSY Pool of Trainers which will take place from the 14th to the 19thof September online.
Despite many difficulties and restrictions of travel and physical meetings, we emphasise the importance of finding ways of learning, engaging, supporting each other, demanding and driving for change.
In this Training for Trainers we aim to provide active members of IUSY the chance to acquire and develop training and facilitating skills, knowledge on non-formal education and youth work. Together we will explore non-formal education methods and discover how it can improve our activities. in addition, we will also strengthen the network of trainers to help us deliver IUSY activities and promote non-formal education within IUSY and its member organisations.
The training will consist of:
- Online sessions (approx. 2 hours per day)
- Offline work (home tasks)
- Designing of follow up activities
The course will require a considerable time and devotion from the participants such as joining the online sessions facilitated by the trainer, offline work individually and in groups as well as designing a follow up activity and its implementation.
During the Training, we will focus on the following competences:
- Understanding and facilitating individual and group learning processes (for example, group dynamic)
- Understanding of non-formal education approach
- Designing educational activities
- Communicating mindfully and meaningfully with others in the team, in the group etc.
- Intercultural competences in group activities
