Presentation of the activity

In the field of non formal education Development, Implementation and Evaluation of International Training Courses are confronted with big challenges, specifically in designing, defining methodology, programme delivery and management.

The "Youth In Action" programme is aiming to improve participants' competences, knowledge, skills and attitudes. Training courses lead to higher quality practice in youth work in general and/or, specifically, Youth in Action projects.

Our Training Course is designed to contribute to that.

The training course is designed for youth workers and youth leaders from both sides of Mediterranean sides to support their professional development and to extend their competencies in design and run a training activity taking in account also the Euro Mediterranean dimension.

The training will support participants in reflecting about the design of a training course and about the learning process of groups.

Participants will be work on conceiving by themselves the activities and to experiment them into the learning group.

It would be suitable that participants will come in the training with their idea of training activity or/and a projects approved or rejected in order to work on their documentation.
