Trainers for Active Learning in Europe (TALE)

The overall aim of the Training for Trainers is to enable participant-trainers to competently design, implement and evaluate quality European training activities putting forward the values underlying European youth work. The training course will contribute to the personal & professional development of participant-trainers, so that, within the frame of European youth work, they should be able to competently plan, implement and evaluate training activities in different fields and contexts, based on an adequate needs analysis and using appropriate methodologies. This implies that participant-trainers should be able: • To guide and facilitate intercultural group processes, and to deal effectively with ambiguity and change; • To co-operate in international teams of trainers and to manage a training project effectively; • To create an appropriate learning environment, by reflecting about learning to learn, different learning styles and how to address them in training; • To understand the current realities of the European youth field (in link with youth policy, youth research) and to put training activities into this perspective; • To engage with the broader institutional framework of training activities at European level and to take this framework into account when designing training activities; to find a common ground between the needs and interests of the institutional partner and those of the participants.
