Impact+: Youth Field

IMPORTANT: Due to the unstable situation with the outbreak of Coronavirus (COVID-19), restrictions with international travelling and entry to Slovenia we decided to carry out the activity on-line. The content of the activity will be adjusted. Activity will be carried out in 3 full days: 26th, 27th and 28th October 2020 and it will include organised sessions with theoretical concepts with the whole group, sessions for individual work and sessions for feedback on individual work. We expect full and active participation in all parts of the activity.

This model was later adapted for the youth field and tested on a national level by Movit Slovenian Erasmus+: Youth in Action National Agency. 

The main aim of the training course is to equip participants with knowledge and skills for successful planning and assessing impact of the projects in the youth field.

Objectives of the activities are:

• Participants will learn about the basic concepts related to project management and impact assessment.
• Participants will get to know the Impact+ tool and its adaptation for use in the youth field.
• Participants will learn to plan and assess projects' results and impact.
• Participants will explore and define projects' indicators and data sources.
• Participants will learn to define relevant audiences and further develop dissemination plan of the project impact.

During the training course participants will learn about the concept of impact, how to plan and assess projects' impact through group work. Part of the time will be dedicated for working on individuals' project ideas and the possible impact. Therefore, it is advised that participants already have project idea they would like to apply in the Erasmus+: Youth in action or European Solidarity Corps programme or they are already implementing such a project.

Target group:
Representatives of youth organisations, youth workers, youth and project leaders planning or/and implementing projects in the Erasmus+: Youth in action or European Solidarity Corps programme.

IMPORTANT CHANGE:

The activity will start on Monday, 26th October 2020, at 9:00 AM CET and will end on Wednesday, 28th October 2020 in the afternoon (depending which time slot for the feedback you will choose). The whole activity will be carried out on-line. Every day in the morning we will have group sessions followed by the individual work. In the afternoon we will have feedback sessions on the individual work. Each participant will choose one or two 30-minutes slots in the afternoon for receiving the feedback, other time in the afternoon will be free.
