Training Course
4-12 December 2019 | Cavan, Ireland
Games 4 The Goals (G4TG)is an eight-day training course which aims to develop Global Education competences of youth workers and educators through games-based learning, with a focus on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The idea for this project results from the growing need within development education and youth work organisations to find new and interactive ways to engage with young people on global issues such as poverty, inequality and climate change. Our hope is to harness the power of games to develop media literacy and critical thinking skills, examine values within society and encourage young people to take informed action related to the SDGs.

The project will take place in Castle Saunderson International Scout Centre. The centre is located near the small town of Belturbet, County Cavan and is situated next to the castle ruins previously owned by the Saunderson family.
This accommodation is regularly used for our training courses. There are multiple training rooms and workspaces, a huge open/chill-out space complete with a fireplace and a kitchen and dining room on the lower floor. The upper floor contains bedrooms and showers (2 male and 2 female). 3-6 people will be accommodated in each room.
Accommodation and food will be provided free of charge throughout the entire training course.
The course is co-funded through the Erasmus+ European programme. We can reimburse only the cheapest transportation possible and only public transport 2nd class fares. Taxi is not refundable, as well as private cars.

IMPORTANT: to determine where you are from, RESIDENCE is the counting factor, not nationality. This means that we can support the participation of somebody living in Italy (or Greece, Slovakia, etc), AS LONG AS YOU TRAVEL TO AND FROM THE COUNTRY, no matter what nationality is shown on your passport. Please don't ask for exceptions ("I'm originally from Czech Republic but now I live in Iceland can I travel from there?"), these are the rules and we cannot change them!
The reimbursement will be done after the end of the project after we successfully get all the tickets and boarding passes also from your trip back home.
