The Leading Edge
Training Course
4-11 July 2017 | Forres, United Kingdom
The Leading Edge is a training course designed to develop the competences of youth workers and volunteers to engage and empower them to take up leadership positions and to equip them with the tools to lead a youth organisation.
With our training course we will address the need of empowering those active in youth organisations through engaging and effective non-formal and informal learning methods to become able and competent to lead a youth organisation and their activities. Youth workers in general need to have a high level of competence in various aspects of leadership including organisational management. In this training we will help those active in their organisations to develop their personal leadership, and to be able to engage young people more actively in their communities by using creative and innovative methods and effective techniques.
The training course is built on the idea of understanding and applying organisational management techniques including: planning and organising; leadership skills development; people, time and budget management. During the training course participants will develop their skills and competences in such important topics as assertive communication, effective team-work and strategic planning while understanding the importance of youth work and the role they play in the development of their communities.
Our Objectives
- To introduce effective communication, leadership and team-work techniques - To provide participants with different tools to acquire knowledge and to develop skills and competences in organisational management
- To identify the role of youth work in our societies and to understand the importance of youth workers
- To develop the competences to implement tools, non-formal and informal educational methods of decision making and strategic thinking
- To provide participants the space for discussion and sharing best practices and to develop their leadership skills and competences.
We will be using the inclusive range of non-formal learning methods as usual including group work, reflection time, discussions, games, individual time etc. Some of the course will be conducted outside.
