The main trainer:

Alexandru Arhire start his training career 15 years ago, in an insurance company. After 6 years, he realized that this activity does not fulfil his desire to help society. He quit his job and started working with various NGOs while implementing activities in local high schools in Bucharest.

The topics he addresses are topics that young people do not normally learn in school: how to communicate assertively, soft skills, ecology, personal development, how to get a job, etc. He worked with more than 500 young people and 200 youth workers, in the last years. He was involved in writing more than 20 E + projects and he was a trainer in multiple projects where he used non-formal education to help people develop their skills and improve their attitudes.

Participants in this training course will learn how to:

• develop competences necessary to manage groups they work with and are in;
• be able to identify group stages of development and use the facilitation strategy;
• improve their conflict management and resolution skills;
• become more confident in facilitating positive, supportive group dynamics;
• improve their communication skills;
• create inclusive learning environments supporting youth development.
