EUROPE DAILY! Think European-Act Locally

Training Course

17-24 April 2016 | Co.Wicklow, Kippure Estate, Ireland

The main objective of 'Europe Daily' is to share the best practices examples of Erasmus+ projects with strong local level impacts and to explore different non-formal education methods while developing international partnerships and new project ideas.
Participating Countries Ireland, UK, Lithuania, Latvia, Spain, Portugal, Greece, Romania, Poland and France. Summary of the Activities During the seminar, we will implement the following activities: 1. Interactive workshops for best practises and experience sharing; 2. Information sessions on Erasmus+ KA1 and KA2; 3. Discussions on how to work with international activities while remaining focused on local realities; 4. Visits to youth work organizations in Dublin city; 5. 1 day session on Outdoor Education activities; 6. Presentation of an ‘Open MIC’ method; 7. Interactive networking activities; 8. Time and space to develop new project ideas between participating organizations. Main Objective To share the best practices of collaboration actions and initiatives in municipalities and to exam Erasmus+ opportunities for making an impact on the local level. Specific Objectives • To get familiar with youth and community work realities in participating countries; • To hear the best practice experiences of collaboration actions and local initiatives in municipalities where participants are coming from; • To exam opportunities that Erasmus+ has (KA1 and KA2 in particular) and how it can be used to make an impact on local and national levels; • To try out different non-formal education methods that could be used when working with young people and local communities (an Open MIC and Outdoor Education); • To develop network between participating organizations for further European collaborations. By taking part in this seminar participants will develop skills of using reflecting practices, thus presentation and public speaking skills. Participants will become more self-aware through active participation in the planed activities, interactions with colleagues and reflection sessions. They will build confidence and competence while working in cultural and age diverse group, thus develop further skills of oral and written self-expression through English. Critical thinking will be raised then engaging in group discussions. The time, task and project management issues will be addressed and get introduction into new non-formal education methodologies. The program of 'Europe Daily' is designed to stimulate creative and innovative thinking while empathizing and relating to others. By organizing 'Europe Daily' we are aiming to find clear links between international collaboration practices and its impacts on the local level. We are seeking to demonstrate benefits of such a activities for young people and local communities. We believe this seminar will contribute to expending numbers of quality Erasmus+ projects around European benefiting local youth and communities and address the needs of youth in Europe today.

Eurobug, International Youth Work Training and Collaboration Limited (Youth NGO)

‘EUROBUG International Youth Work Training and Collaboration Limited’ was founded in July 2014 in the Republic of Ireland. It is a not for profit, non-government organization that operates on local, national and international levels.

Our Mission:
The overall aim of ‘Eurobug’ is to provide young people (18-30) with the opportunity to get actively engaged in their own personal growth and development and to fulfil their personal potential.
We do this by supporting young people’s active involvement and participation in international activities, thus one-to-one mentoring. We work in collaboration with youth services in Ireland and abroad, and serve as a bridge for young people to reach extra support systems when needed. ‘Eurobug’ works in collaboration with youth and community organisation from Europe and neighboring countries to contribute to providing quality services for young people thus quality training for youth and community workers, volunteers, youth leaders, activist in Ireland and abroad.

Our beliefs:
We believe in every young person and his/her ability to fulfill their personal potential by engaging in non-formal education processes and intercultural learning in particular. We use a person-centred theoretical approach, intercultural learning and non-formal education methods when working with young people and youth and community workers, volunteers, youth leaders and activists.

We believe that to improve quality standers of international youth work, we need to contribute to providing quality training and seminars for people who are working with young people (youth and community workers, volunteers, youth leaders and activists). As a result, more young people around Europe will engage in their own personal growth and development and fulfill their personal potential by using national and international opportunities for youth.

By working with non-formal learning educators on an international level, we highlight the importance of using a person centred approach and work with the interests and needs of young people. Intercultural learning is one of the core values that ‘Eurobug’ work is based on. ‘Eurobug’ believes in equal opportunities for all young people and pays particular attention to the areas of social inclusion and inclusion of youth minorities.
