Toolbox for Training & Youth Work

Browse through this online Toolbox full of training methods, simulation games, background texts, presentations and course reports. And if you feel something is missing from our collection, you can add a training tool yourself!

Building Things Together

Looking for inspiration, for youth work and training methods?

The Toolbox for Training & Youth Work is like an on-line bookshelf, from which you can pull different training and youth work methods according to your needs (this can be exercises, simulations, background texts, etc.). This hopefully facilitates access to available training material and avoids reinventing the wheel.

• Find inspiring training & youth work methods
• Need help for finding training & youth work tools

Share your methods and exercises!

The Toolbox for Training & Youth Work is more than a static collection of exercises! You can also add your own training & youth work methods or background texts to this increasing collection of training material. Or leave your comments or rating at the bottom of each tool.

• Add a useful method, exercise, presentation for youth work or training (log in with your SALTO username or create one)
• Check first if you tool is not online yet!
• Read more about the Toolbox criteria and functioning

Once you added a Tool (filling in all Toolbox fields, and adding downloads, if any) the Toolbox administrator (toolbox@salto-youth.net) will shortly check its quality and coherence and before going online.

"A tool is only as good as the skills of the craftsman/woman using it"

None of the tools in this Toolbox for Training & Youth Work are a key to change as such. Training is highly contextual and it is only by adapting tools to your objectives, target group, context (time and place) and -most important- to your own skills that a tool will reach its aim.

• Just like dynamite, these training tools can be used in different ways - be it useful or dangerous.
• SALTO declines all responsibility for inappropriate use of these Training Tools!
• Beginning trainers might want to read the T-Kit on Training Essentials before launching themselves in front of a group.

What can you find in the Toolbox?

The training & youth work tools in this Toolbox have been collected from various sources (e.g. SALTO training courses, NGOs, etc). SALTO does not claim it being its property. Most of these training methods have been around for many years and have been used in numerous courses in a large variety of formats. Therefore it is difficult to refer to the original source of the tool.

• Should you know the original or whether copyright is pending on this tool, please inform toolbox@salto-youth.net and we will adapt the tool accordingly.

For more information about the Toolbox you can read the Toolbox help pages or contact the Toolbox administrator via toolbox@salto-youth.net
