This is a motivational TC designed to empower youth workers in the specific reality of project based–youth work.This TC enhances particular competences & provides practical tools & methods for a sustainable youth work & long lasting impact on young people
Why "Give Power To Empower"?
Youth work has become more and more important for personal and social development of young people. The interest for this concept is rising, there are more opportunities and the number of those who are experiencing non-formal education methods is growing. Even though there are many reasons to be satisfied, youth work is a big challenge and responsibility for all the actors that are involved in the phenomenon. Socio-economical factors have a great influence on the quality of youth work, but still, the youth worker is the main force responsible for the results and the learning of young people. But this is not an easy job. Before empowering others a youth worker has to be empowered and competent. This is the core reason why we have prepared this TC.
The TC is addressing four specific areas which should concern every youth worker:
- Personal development at individual level.
- Professional development and acquisition of specific competences for youth work field.
- Global development: youth worker’s roles and long term vision.
- Sustainable development: long term interventions, partnerships development.
