One goal of the European Training Strategy is the support of competence development of youth workers to work international and to support young people in learning mobility projects. In the course of this process, a competence model for youth workers, training offers and platforms to exchange knowledge will be offered.
To succesfully network and cooperate on an international level and to support young people in learning mobility projects, certain competences are required from youth workers. One objective of the European Training Strategy in the Field of Youth is therefore to develop a competence model for youth workers to support these tasks. Such a model can serve as a framework for orientation and guidance for the different actors.
The YOCOMO (YOuth Workers COmpetence MOdel) project consists of a series of learning offers and training activities to support youth workers in reflecting and exploring their practice through the ETS Competence Model for Youth Workers to Work Internationally.
The Appetiser training course brings together practitioners who work locally with young people all over Europe. It gives them a first and strongly positive experience of international youth work and introduces them to the possibilities of working in an international setting making use of Erasmus+: Youth in Action and the European Solidarity Corps programmes.
BiTriMulti (BTM) is a training course based on a simulation exercise, inputs and group work. It aims at developing the competences (knowledge, skills and attitudes) that youth workers and youth leaders need to design and deliver an inclusive, quality youth exchange process within Erasmus+: Youth in Action.
TicTac is a multilateral training course targeted at voluntary and professional youth workers as well as youth leaders who ar interested in using international cooperation to enhance their local development strategies in line with the goals of their organizations. Participants are supported in designing qualitative international youth worker mobility activities under the Erasmus+: Youth in Action Programme.
The Strategic Cooperation between National Agencies on Education and Training of Youth Workers (EaT SNAC) is aiming to reach a systemic impact on education & training through the recognition of competences and learning processes as a thematic context. The SNAC aims to establish clear links regarding the development of recognition and validation mechanisms and tools at the national and international level, where appropriate and is to be implemented for a four-year period ( 2021 – 2024).
