Empowering U 2 lead Uth

During this course, participants will engage in a number of workshops, games, activities and discussions where they will gain an increased awareness of their leadership style and their priviledged role when working with young people. They will develop the skills, attitudes and approaches leaders require to impact positively on the lives of young people. Who are we looking for? Youth workers and youth leaders working directly with young people interested in optimising the impact they can have on the personal and social development of young people. Priority will be given to applicants who are newcomers in the youth field or have only little experience as youth workers and/or youth leaders. Key objectives of the course: • To assist participants in the personal self-development of their leadership competencies ● To enable participants to understand and trust their own ability to inspire young people ● To provide participants with good communication and group dynamics skills ● To explore the participants’ organisational skills and how these can be used to support young people in becoming more involved in extra-curricular activities in their community ● To discover the value of the Youth In Action programme as a tool for the development of young people
