French-German training course for intercultural youth work

Training Course

10-16 June 2024 | Aachen, Germany

Culture et Liberté and Arbeit und Leben BAK are setting up a French-German basic training course to become an international youth leader. The training is open to people from France and Germany aged 18 and over.

The objective of this course is to enable future leaders to acquire theoretical and practical skills specific to international youth exchanges and to learn tools to help them develop a pedagogical approach that encourages intercultural reflection and learning.
The aim is to acquire the skills and know-how essential for working in an intercultural team and for implementing and facilitating projects in fields as varied as sport, vocational training, culture, town twinning, active citizenship, etc.

The training periods are in conformity with the reference framework of the French-German Youth Office (OFAJ-DFJW). They include theoretical units as well as practical modules in bi-national groups. The following topics in particular:

  • Intercultural learning (encouraging and supporting the learning process)
  • Activities and methods for French-German exchanges (e.g. language activities)
  • Group dynamics and conflict resolution
  • Role and functions of the group leader
  • Objectives of an international youth exchange
  • Legal background to youth exchanges in France and Germany
  • Evaluation of youth exchanges
  • Digital tools and methods
  • Civic education and youth participation
  • Structures and organisation of French-German institutions

Provided they are actively involved throughout the training course, participants with a good knowledge of the foreign language can apply to the OFAJ for a Youth Intercultural Exchange Leader Certificate. This certificate validates the acquisition of various skills and the ability to work as an intercultural youth leader (see the OFAJ website).

The basic training for facilitators comprises 3 phases:
- Phase 1: General training session - 10 to 16 June 2024 in Aachen (Germany)
- Phase 2: Practical training during a French-German exchange or international youth exchange.
- Phase 3: Deepening session - 27 October to 2 November 2024 in Amiens (France)

The working languages are French and German. Knowledge of the other language is not required. However, it is necessary to take part in the whole training course (phases 1 to 3).

The number of participants is limited to 20 (10 from France and 10 from Germany).
