TOY - Trainers Online for Youth
This is a reference for Fredrik Wouda
The aim of the training is to learn more about opportunities within Small-scale Partnership projects and how these projects aim to support an inclusion perspective.
As a starter format, Small-scale Partnerships offer simplified access to the Erasmus+ Youth program which are aimed at strategic development for organisations. Small-scale Partnerships aim to help organisations develop their quality development and capacity building. The project type is suitable for inexperienced and small, local organisations that would like to carry out a first project in the program and build up their first international partnerships in order to support peer learning.
They enable a combination of international and national activities (those with a European dimension). The possibility of including national activities should also facilitate the involvement of people with fewer opportunities in the activities of the project.
How can you as an inclusion worker (person working with young people with fewer opportunities) use the Small-scale Partnerships to work with your target group(s)? We aim to give you project ideas & resources and guide you through the steps to a successful Key Action 2 project by;
-Presenting the opportunities within Small-scale Partnerships in Key Action 2
-Partnership building activities, get to know like-minded organisations
-Create opportunities to discuss and develop project ideas as well as reflecting about quality in a KA2-projects
-Share available resources to support your project
-In addition, some inclusion related elements will be added to the course e.g. reaching out to specific target groups, inclusive methodology for your activities, etc.
