The Leading Edge

With our training course we will address the need of empowering those active in youth organisations through engaging and effective non-formal and informal learning methods to become able and competent to lead a youth organisation and their activities.

Youth workers in general need to have a high level of competence in various aspects of leadership including organisational management. In this training we will help those active in their organisations to develop their personal leadership, and to be able to engage young people more actively in their communities by using creative and innovative methods and effective techniques. The training course is built on the idea of understanding and applying organisational management techniques including: planning and organising; leadership skills development; people, time and budget management. During the training course participants will develop their skills and competences in such important topics as assertive communication, effective team-work and strategic planning while understanding the importance of youth work and the role they play in the development of their communities.
