ResponseAbility 2nd edition - a training course for youth workers about finding a response to the challenges of the 21st century

This training is aimed at youth workers, youth leaders, teachers and volunteers working in non-formal learning settings. ResponseAbility is an unique opportunity for you: • to explore the concepts of responseAbility, positive change and inner leadership • to explore acceptance, gratitude and compassion in order to develop our responses • to raise awareness of our identity through reflecting on our challenges, concerns, passions and visions • to nurture mindfulness – the ability to be in the present moment and to connect to the miracle of life anytime and anyplace • to encourage a learning mindset which realizes that everything is possible • to stimulate the confidence, vulnerability and resilience of the participants • to encourage and serve the participants in planning their learning process also after the training course and also implement with their target groups • to learn more about the Erasmus+ program and its actions, and Youth Pass as a tool of recognition of the key competences Main aim: With this training course we create a space for building that responseAbility through reflection on our concerns and passions as well as becoming more conscious of our personal tranformation process. We believe that gaining a deeper understanding of who we are and what we can do for others is an empowering process which can lead to positive changes for the future of society. Moreover it is necessary that youth workers know how they can lead young people in facing their own challenges and thereby continue to grow as a person. After the training, participants will be able to lead young people in their organisations and communities through a personal learning journey to craft and find powerful and meaningful responses to the sustainability challenges of the 21st century. This non-formal education training course will be characterized by highly participatory, interactive and experiential methods. The working methods will include case studies, working in pairs and small groups, team building activities, discussions, workshops developed by the participants and self-assessment. The participants will share experiences and knowledge with each other. This process with a self-directed learning approach will be facilitated by the trainers. The training is designed for 26 participants. We accept applications till 25th of September. Selection date will be: 27th of September.
