Manual
The objective of the publication is to support youth workers in providing empowerment
training to current and future youth leaders.
The aim of the trainning methodology was to
understand the profile of the modern youth leader and the relevant knowledge, skills
and attitudes underpinning this profile as well as to provide youth workers with concrete
activities that are addressing the enhancement of key youth leadership qualities.
The training methodology has seven main chapters addressing different topics, such as: Empowering Youth Leadership, Fostering Self-Awareness, Fostering
Systems Awareness, Enhancing Active Listening, Nurturing Creative Experimentation, Boosting Proactivity and Structuring Dialogue with Policy-Makers. Each of the subchapters is designed to provide a short theoretical overview of the topic in the beginning, followed by concrete practical activities to be implemented in training. Each of the activities is written in the same format with the aim of making
the activity user-friendly and concrete with instructions on its implementation.
For youth workers it is of a value, that each activity description provides a list of competencies that the activity is addressing. Moreover, the activities descriptions provide information on concrete goals of the activity, conditions to be meet for a successful implementation, estimated time of the activity, concrete steps of the implementation process as well as risk and recommendations for trainers and resources for further reading. We propose that a youth leader first does the self-evaluation based on the List of “Key Youth Leadership Qualities”, which can be found in the manual on page 43. Based on the self-evaluation the youth leader together with the youth worker identify those competencies that would need improvement and implement activities that are addressing those specific competencies. After the implementation of activities, we also propose to go back to the List of “Key Youth Leadership Qualities” and re-assess again, giving the young leader the option to see if any learning progress and impact was achieved.
