ACTIVacting employability through creativity
Training Course
19-27 August 2012 | Heiligensee, Berlin (Kinder- und Jugendgästehaus Heiligensee, Germany
Youth unemployment is a growing threat. What role can creativity play in tackling it? How can youth workers use it?
Deepen your understanding of creativity, face your creativity barriers, reflect on the new role of youth workers!
This training course is targeted at youth workers, who are not working directly on employability as their main topic, but who are sharing with youngsters part of their time and who are willing to keep in mind the issue of employability when organizing activities and projects, as well as when defining learning objectives.
We want to look at creativity's potential as a tool and approach for youth workers and how it can foster employability.
Employability in this sense is not “getting the job”, but rather a self development and empowerment process, that might culminate in creating one's own job, being fit for the labour market, or anything in between...
The main aims of this project are:
To tackle youth unemployment through creativity;
To promote a reflection on the new role of youth workers.
And the specific objectives are:
To deepen the understanding of creativity
To facilitate participants' strength and needs towards creative attitude
To reflect on creativity barriers and ways of overcoming them
To explore the relation between creativity and employability
To be more aware of the political context / dimension of youth work
To get tools to support employability through creativity
To improve the competence of empowering and communicating with people
To become more aware of the role of youth workers and its dimensions
To promote an exchange of ideas and good practices
To develop an action plan to be realised in everyday job
The course is based on the principles of non-formal education and will favour a holistic and experiential approach based on participants’ needs, motivations and experiences.
We will be hosted in a “Training House” that is suited to run the sessions and live together. It's a very nice house with a big garden, northwest of central Berlin. - website only in German http://www.juhu-heiligensee.de/unterk%C3%BCnfte-im-kinder-und-jugendg%C3%A4stehaus-heiligensee)
We will build on the group process and individual development. This means we live, work, cook and sleep in the same house. Upstairs are the 7 bedded bedrooms, downstairs the working rooms and kitchen, where we will cook tasty meals together.
Rui Montez, Sławomir Muzioł and Virginia Bertelli will be the trainers in the TC.
They come from different backgrounds and therefore they bring different – but complementary – approaches to creativity, employability, self development and empowerment.

Costs
30% of travel costs + participation fee.
The normal participation fee is 60 Euro.
However we know that this amount has different values for different people. Therefore we set a minimum participation fee of 40 EURO and a maximum of 80 EURO and ask participants to pay according to their possibilities.
We expect to gather the necessary average amount with this solidarity-based method.
70% of the travel cost will be refunded after having received all original travel documents (including boarding passes).
Participants or sending organisations advance the money. Reimbursements might take up to 8 weeks after the TC. Reimbursements in cash on the spot are not possible.
