"YOUTHPASS pour les nuls !" A training course for Youthpass users or multipliers in French language

This European training course, organised by National Agencies of Youth in Action Programme of France and Luxembourg, targets French speaking youth workers and leaders, projects promoters, EVS mentors, or trainers from all “Programme countries” of YiA Programme. Priority will be given to those who could not attend the training courses with English as working language proposed by the SALTO Training and Cooperation Resource Centre. The team of the TC will be two trainers from the European Youthpass pool of trainers, Sylvain Abrial (French) and Mark Taylor (British living in France), and the Youthpass contact persons of French and Luxembourg Agencies. The content and the methods of the TC will be the same than for the SALTO Youthpass TCs with English as working language. The main objectives of this TC will be: - to raise awareness of the principles and practice of non-formal learning - to inform and train participants about Youthpass in the different Actions of the YiA programme - to enable participants to multiply Youthpass through training and promotion with different stakeholders - to work on learning to learn with Youthpass and the Portfolio as examples of such tools - to enable participants to receive a Youthpass after the course if they so wish - to allow for informal contact-making outside the formal programme - to provide space for participants to develop strategies and action plans for their work back home - to create a learning community full of discoveries - and of course to have a nice, fun time with everyone
