TICTAC in France - Multilateral Training Course to support quality in Training & Networking projects of Youth in Action

The overall aim of the TICTAC TC is to develop participants’ competences for implementing Action 4.3 / 3.1 projects and support measures projects in future programme, as support measures in an organization’s long term strategy. The specific objectives of the course are: * to promote the YiA Programme and future programme as an Educational Tool; * to explore the YiA Programme with a special focus on the aims of Action 4.3 / 3.1 and its activities; * to understand the role of Action 4.3/ 3.1 projects and support measures within the future programme within a long term strategy; * to simulate the first steps of organising an Action 4.3 / 3.1 project within an international team; * to develop participant’s competences in planning Non Formal Education and Intercultural Learning Processes; * to promote Youth Participation and European Citizenship as key elements when designing a YiA Project or a project in the future programme. In the training course participants have the opportunity to meet and to get to know others’ organisations, but contact making is not directly a priority of the training course. TARGET GROUP The training course is designed for youth workers and youth leaders, who * have experienced an international event/activity before (not necessarily a project under the Youth in Action programme), * have at least basic knowledge in the Youth in Action programme, * are newcomers in Training and Networking projects (Action 4.3/3.1) of Youth in Action or have limited experience and are motivated to learn about and make use of these Actions as a tool for creating or strengthening international partnerships and working on quality in their international Youth in Action projects, * have the support of an organisation to attend the TICTAC course and are in the position to implement Action 4.3/3.1 training and networking projects in their organisation, * are minimum 18 years old, * are able to use English as a working language in order to establish effective communication during group-work and sessions. A low level of English will limit your learning opportunities. The Network of National Agencies organises several TICTAC training courses per year.
