Toolbox for Youth Trainers

Aims of the tool

The aim si to offer inspiration on NFE activities to youth workers or educators and to share the results of the learning programme.

Description of the tool

We created this toolbox with the intention to share what was created in the training programme and might be useful for trainers, facilitators, youth workers, educators or simply anybody, who is active in non-formal education and youth work and wants to design creative, interesting and interactive sessions and programmes for young people.

This booklet is an outcome of an international training programme for youth trainers "On the Way to Quality" that happened 29th August - 6th September and 28th November - 6th December 2022 in the Czech Republic, the ecocentre Loutí, organised by Brno Connected. The project was funded through an Erasmus+ programme of the European Commission, which supports learning mobilities of youth workers. The content of the training programme was designed and delivered by the the team of trainers consisting of Kateřina Martínková, Michaela Vyležíková and Veronika Batelková.

The seven session outlines that are available in this toolbox were created by the participants - trainers, facilitators and youth workers from the Czech Republic, Italy, Romania, Greece, Hungary, Poland, Bulgaria and Croatia. They joined the training programme with the intention to improve their competences when working with youth, expand their toolboxes, find their own training style and gain confidence to create and deliver nonformal education activities for youth. As part of their practice, the participants prepared and delivered non-formal education sessions in the elementary school in Týnec, to the classes of eight and nine graders. We are offering their session outlines as an inspiration for others - feel free to use it!

We wish you a lot of creativity in your learning programmes!
