TOY - Trainers Online for Youth
This is a reference for António Gomes
• Provide youth workers with know-how on planning and developing Youth exchanges,
focusing on each phase of the project life, partnership and communication;
• Support participants in putting in practice the learnings gained, submitting quality
application forms to their NAs (through planning project ideas in partnership during one TC
session and offering a mentoring support after the TC);
• Facilitate the creation of partnership for further projects among the organisations;
• Strenghten participants and organisations competences and capability in youth work
and international dimension and cooperation.
• Enhancing Non Formal education methods and recognition of NFE learnings.
2 participants (Youth workers, Project managers and
coordinators, Responsible of Organizations) from 10 countries (Italy, Portugal, Spain, Greece,
Cyprus, Hungary, Lithuania, Macedonia (FYRM), Croatia and Bulgaria). Team were compost for 3 Trainers (Laris Guerri, Marco Positano and me) and 2 Logistics Support (Simone Sani and Francesca Biancalani)
We used non-formal and interactive tools, exercises and games. Teamwork, simulation games, and evaluation tools for self-assessment.
YES was a TC to empower organisations (especially newcomers) and Youth workers in planning and developing quality Youth Exchanges. The participants improved learnings and tips on quality system in each phase, from planning idea to implementation to dissemination of results. At the end the participants in developed their own project Application forms and creating partnerships.
My role was a trainier in some sessions in the Training Course especially about Erasmus+ Programme, Good practices about Mobility Projects and Mentoring participants to apply a project.
I worked on this training for 5 days as a full time trainer.
