Facilitation and Advocacy Skills for international youth Work; Frontiers of Opportunities

The project will give youth workers and leaders multidimensional skills base which will enable them to help young people to lead a better life. The demand for the stated skills could create a new career prospect for youth workers in advocacy and programme facilitation. We believe there is no better time to address these skills problem than now when the Erasmus+ projects are fully taking roots and its fruits are being seen. Several youth workers have been brooding in the dark without the needed skills. If youth workers have achieved any form of success in their projects without this fundamental skills of facilitation and advocacy. This will not be sustainable but with this project, youth workers will achieve more and grant funding will do the needed good it was set out to achieve in the life of young people and such projects will be sustainable on the long run and the multiplied effects will speak volume. That is why this project is critical at this material time for the preservation of the soundness of youth work and its effectiveness in helping young people to navigate the challenges of modern times and to lead a better life by opening new frontiers of opportunities. The training will run on non-formal training method with learners at the centre of learning.
