TOY - Trainers Online for Youth
This is a reference for Fredrik Wouda
Project Labs are national activities that focus on both introduction and/or quality aspects in the European Solidarity Corps (ESC). In 2021,
The Project Lab Intro will be delivered through a synchronous digital meeting not longer than 4 hours (including breaks).
The starting objectives of the Project Lab Intro are as following:
• get a first contact with the info about volunteering and solidarity projects;
• get motivated to apply for a QL (would interviews/inviting organizations/presentation of RAY results help?);
• shortly present the process of getting a project approved (QL, budget application, aspects that you think about when you have to send/host a volunteer, do a solidarity projects);
• present ESC projects as a method and strategy for working with topics as inclusion, youth participation, LGBTQ activism etc;
• create a bridge between the NA and the organizations - should feel welcomed and relax to contact MUCF;
• get materials from the trainers - an infopack for the specific target group (must be clarified what the infopack should contain, ex tools that would help those participating to inspire their other colleagues);
• how would they do internally so that the organizations decides to get involved in a project
• slightly adapt the respective ProjectLabs to the respective target groups that will be reached (LGBTQ, disabilities, NEET, youth participation)
The trainers selected to design the Project Labs: Marta Brzezinska-Hubert and Konstantinos Stergiou met with the National Agency. The aim was that Marta and Konstantinos would design the Project Labs for both digital (and residential - if possible) implementation. The trainers selected to deliver the Project Labs: Karin Wouda, Kristina Rosenhagen and Fredrik Wouda were invited to get involved in this process by giving feedback to the proposed designs.
Online tools such as the HOP platform, Zoom, Slido, Padlet jamboard, and non-formal online methods were used for the participants.
The outcomes of the activity was that I got implemented and reached a good number of participants that after the trainings applied for different opportunities presented in the trainings.
