Enhancing work on Children Rights: Promoting Child Participation (Child ParticipAction II)
Training course
31 August - 9 September 2009 | Sant Joan de les Abadesses - Catalonia, Spain
The Training Course “Enhancing work on Children Rights: Promoting Child Participation (Child ParticipAction II)” aims to develop competences of youth leaders and educators working in non-formal education contexts with children in the topic of Human Rights Education and Participation. The course will be focused on how the development of activities/projects on Children Rights can become a powerful pedagogical tool to promote and strengthen Child Participation. Thus, theoretical inputs on models of participation will compete the previous bloc on Human Rights Education.
During the course special attention will be given to the exchange of best practices/experiences on the topics and to the educational development of interactive methodologies related to Theatre of the Oppressed. Finally, the course will be an open space for the development of local, national and/or international youth projects (with and for teenagers of 13-18 years old as target group), using the framework of the Youth in Action Programme and as a strategy for the promotion of networking among partners.
The course will take place in the “Ruta del Ferro” Youth Hostel of the Pyrenean village of Sant Joan de les Abadesses (Girona province, Catalonia, Spain) between the 31st of August and the 9th of September of 2009, and will count with 25 participants from Austria, Bulgaria, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Portugal, Spain and United Kingdom.

Esplais Catalans - Esplac (NGO/Others)
Esplac is a Catalan non-profit youth association of leisure-time education for children and youngsters. Founded in 1982 aiming to gather leisure time centres (“esplais”) and people sharing efforts for a common pedagogical and ideological (secular and progressive) project. Esplac is composed by 102 esplais, 6500 children and youngsters, 1600 youth leaders and 200 collaborators. Esplac is member of FIEEA and IFM-SEI.
Our aim is to work for a profound renewal of the pedagogical projects of esplais to transform them into real spaces for children. Esplac centres share the following objectives:
- To intervene in the totality of the person
- To define a way of living, an attitude towards society and life
- To believe in an education of integration, globalisation and liberation
- To educate free people, free-thinkers, conscious of their cultural environment, socially responsible and solidary, with critical and creative minds, tolerant and curious for the world surrounding them.
