Exercise
-To reflect on individual and group learning within a Training course
-To get personal experience with summarizing the "learning" over a 1 week´s training course to be able to apply and explain the use of the Youth Pass to the EVS volunteers
At the end of the 1.Training day, explain a "need" for the reflection on the personal learning, by showing a symbol of the FEET -we learn in steps - formally/non-formally and informally. Then give examples (also the funny ones - e.g.that I learnt that there is always a hot soup for lunch in Hungary) and ask people to answer following question:
"What have YOU learnt today?" participants are asked to do it by writing (in English)or drawing on paper ideally in shape of a Feet number 1. Explain that each training day they get their previous "feet" back and continue with similar question. You CAN give the question a little focus like: "What have you learnt from the others-group of participants?or what have you learnt about yourself?"
At the end of the Training - produce a Certificate for everybody with Official part:written Aims and Objectives BUT with an EMPTY space for their Learning outcomes: about half a page of the A4. Give participants time to go through their learning-steps-feet from previous days and ask them to make a summary of what they think are the most important learning outcomes for them! Let them write it on their own and sign it at the end.
