Life Love Youthpass 2

During the training course you will have the opportunity to reflect, explore and question your own understanding of learning. You will be supported to develop your own approach and action plan to help EVS volunteers on their learning journey. In order to gain that, you will be guided through your own pathway of learning, supported by the other participants and trainers in order to achieve a greater understanding of the entire Youthpass process and its key competences. The second edition of “Life Love Youthpass” training course aims at highlighting and enhancing the quality of the educational aspects within EVS. The focus will be on exploring the learning process within EVS and, in particular, on understanding Youthpass as a tool for learning and on developing skills in how to transfer the learning outcomes into the Key Competences of Youthpass. Objectives: - To understand the concept of EVS as an educational programme and to discover the philosophy behind Youthpass. - To explore the dimension of learning within EVS project and to connect it with non formal/informal and self-directed learning. - To develop competences on facilitating the learning process and on the self-assessment of learning outcomes in EVS. - To develop competences on the implementation of the Youthpass as a process, learning how to use it as tool for learning recognition. - To provide a clear understanding of the key competence within Youthpass. - To reflect on the role of the Youthpass support person regarding the learning of the EVS volunteer.
