ReCharge Yourself

ReCharge Yourself is a  7 days training course what has been developed especially for people who work in the field of nonformal education. For trainers, youth workers, mentors, social workers - professionals from the youth field etc. The training course will take place in Hungary, Alsótold at Toldi Ház between 27 August - 2 September 2021 and it will be continued by the follow up activity. In this project we are partners from 7 countries: the Netherlands, Italy, Romania, Spain, Slovakia, Poland and Hungary.

The main topic of the Training Course is self-motivation and self- empowerment. With this program we aim to support other trainers and NGOs in order to reduce stress and self-destruction during work and international programs and create a more effective way of living as a social / youth worker. We believe it is especially important now, in these difficult times.

On the other hand, we also came up with this project to share with the other trainers and youth workers the importance of self-motivation in the area of non-formal and lifelong learning education. In many cases, we saw that people who work with people (especially youngsters) give from themselves a lot and get back a few positive feedback.
In order to carry on with the quality work as a professional, they have to learn to self-motivate and empower themselves.

The main objectives of the project are:
- To learn and practice the new soft skills and practice the set of competencies of the trainers.
- To learn about self-motivation professionally and personally
- To promote sustainable living and healthy lifestyle
- To promote creativity in youth work by implementing new methods in education
In our activities, we involve a total number of 28 participants who are trainers, youth workers and Co-founders of youth NGOs and social enterprises.

The Training Course will take place in Alsótold - in a small, peaceful village in Hungary. 

Some of the methods going to be used are:

- non-formal learning, experimental learning with some special method of ours (creative recycling) and extras like
- meditation, mindfulness practices, dance mandala
- simulations, outdoor activities, focus, NLP, living library, coaching and mentoring
Also we use elements of Art of Hosting method.

As a result of the Training Course, participants taking part in our project will be introduced to new and innovative methods of skills development in youth work, especially in connection with tackling burn out, self motivation and self empowerment methods. Also we are going to focus on sustainble learning - so participants will learn to maintian their learning process, create a routine of learning.
They will have a better insight on working with young people with different target groups and its' affects - it will enable them to improve consciousness, creativity, communication, design thinking, self empowerment and motivation in general- skills that they can use in their personal and professional lives as well.
We expect our participants to gain new attitudes towards their own profession and to be motivated to build in the newly acquired knowledge and tools in their work with youngsters and to develop further projects in order to include young people more actively.
Moreover they will be able to transform this knowledge into their already existing NGOs , organizations and social enterprises. It will reduce stress level at their work place and make the work more enjoyable.
