TOY - Trainers Online for Youth
This is a reference for Spela Gorjan
The main goal of training course is to presents participants with different types of
games which they can use as a tool in their youth work.
We have been playing since we were children. Through the play we get to know
ourselves, the world around us and we learn. Therefore, play is one of the basic
forms of education and relaxation, and at the same time it can serve as an effective
pedagogical tool. Social games include those games that, instead of competition,
focus on social relations between people and raise the level of self-awareness and
social sensibility through the element of conversation about what happened to the
participants during the game.
The participants were youth workers and volunteers from 12 countries and the team was partly Slovenian and partly Finnish.
Training methods were non-formal based methods: experiential learning, learning by doing and a lot of reflections.
