The training course will be based on the principles of non-formal learning and the main education methods used will be: getting started with energizers, brainstorming sessions, active discussion and experience sharing, work in small groups and interactive presentations of the work results, role-plays and simulations, using open space technique for project development, etc. One of the outputs of the project will be a developed scenario for a forum theatre on a conflict situation in youth work that will be performed in the host community and later shared among partners for further use.
