TOY - Trainers Online for Youth
This is a reference for Pablo Castineiras
To explore the link between intercultural competences and citizenship, especially at European and global level to connect the local and European/global work of AFS Intercultural programs.
35 Youth leaders from AFS organisations coming from 17 different countries.
The overall educational approach was non-formal, containing both experiential and
traditional learning elements.
Plenary presentations by guest speakers or facilitators; work in small buzz & reflection groups; daily individual and group self-asessment; role playing; workshops; presentation of group work results in plenary; Study Session magazine, etc.
Participants reflected upon their intercultural experiences and gained more practical and background/theoretical knowledge and reflection in order to multiply and give an international and European perspective to their local reality and work.
Planning of several follow-up projects which leaded further involvement of the participants at different European projects.
