"ONE 2 ONE" supporting learning face-to-face Training course

Then this course is for you! Context and background of this training course: In several areas of the Erasmus+:Youth in Action programme, youth workers and trainers are increasingly required to be able not only to work with groups of young people but, also, to accompany individuals through the various learning and personal development processes on offer. Although one-to-one dialogue may seem like an obvious and natural form of communication, many youth workers feel they need training in order to appropriately support young people through their individual development and learning processes. We are very happy to invite you to apply for the third edition of this successful course, which will be held in the European Youth Centre Budapest. WHAT “One 2 One” STANDS FOR? “One 2 One” is a little play on words. One 2 one means face to face i.e. the individual relationship, which we are focusing on during the training course. The aims and objectives of this training course: The main aim of the One 2 One training course is to empower and equip youth workers with the competences needed to work individually with young people in order to support their learning processes. Within this, we seek: - To share and exchange about various types of contexts, approaches and the learning effects of different environments; - To explore the topic of "learning"; - To explore what “supporting learning” means in one-to-one relationships; - To develop the skill of initiating & supporting self-reflection about learning; - To make links between these approaches and the wider picture, e.g. to make connections with the recently published "Competence model for youth workers". Target group and profile of participants: - professionals and volunteers - youthworkers and/or youth leaders, youth trainers, EVS mentors, educators etc. - who see a need for developing their competences in working individually with young people. - those who want to facilitate learning in youth work through one-to-one relationships, for example, in supporting the Youthpass process - 18 years old and older; - able to actively participate in English; The learning process and the programme of the training course In order to provide the possibility for participants to experience being supported individually in their own learning process, the training course is extended by One 2 One talks with the trainers both before and after the course. Each participant will be accompanied by the same trainer throughout. What you can expect: Before the training course: Participant and trainer + One 2 One talks Training course: Participant and trainer + One 2 One talks After the training course: Participant and trainer + One 2 One talks The preliminary programme of the course is presented below on a separate page and will be adjusted according to participants' expressed needs and expectations.
