TOY - Trainers Online for Youth
This is a reference for Joke Van Dooren
Youth workers are at the heart of society, a society that continues to evolve and become more diverse. Youth workers are expected to act in a constructive and effective way within the contexts of a heterogeneous society including young people who have a migrant background.
That’s why we organize this three-day international seminar is for youth workers who work with second and third generation migrant youth and have experience in organizing international youth projects. The aim of the seminar is to exchange knowledge, expertise and experiences around working with migrant youth in an international context. These exchanges between youth workers will lead to the enrichment of every youth worker and the development of new international initiatives for second and third generation migrant youth that can be funded by the Erasmus+ program.
25 participants from Belgium, France and the Netherlands
Round tables, NGO presentations, brainstorming, small group discussions, youth pass, speed dating, meetings with NA's, discussing cases, simulation game, writing recommendations, ...
The participants developed 3 proposals for follow-up activities and a list of recommendations addressed to National Agencies. And a list of "do's and don'ts" to support other organizations working with migrant youngsters who would like to organize international projects.
As trainer/facilitator, I developed, prepared, facilitated and evaluated the whole seminar with my co-trainer.
