A 5-days training lab for youth workers taking place in Germany and hosted by NGO NEST BERLIN to present and train them on the activities.
The training lab training programme will be the following (indicatively)
DAY 1: team building activities, presentation of the training programme.

The main expected result of the activities is Competence Development of Youth Workers. In particular, we are seeking:
(1) to support the continuous professional development of youth professionals,
(2) to train youth professionals on how to work with the specific GBL training tools to be developed by the project,
(3) to receive feedback on the GBL tools created so as to revise them and finalise them
This professional development training will enable the participants- youth workers and youth trainers/ facilitators- to support
young people with fewer opportunities to extract the maximum benefit from new emerging GBL tools, in a safe and
productive manner.
The training will add to the wider impact of the project:
(a) To support the professional development of youth workers, youth trainers/ facilitators, with a view to improving the quality
of youth work and youth training in Europe and Partner countries.
(b) To increase the capacity of all the youth organisations to correspond better to the needs of the young people.
