The Power of Non Formal Education

Training Course

23-28 October 2015 | Italy

Improving the impact of Non Formal Education (NFE), principles and methods in creating empowerment opportunities for young people as real actors of the society (from local to Europe).
Why this Training Course? - To stimulate the participants to feel and reflect about the power of non-formal education (NFE) by experimenting different kind of non-formal educational methods - To analyze the role and reception of NFE in our different countries within a common Europe. - To discover and debate the European strategy of NFE. - To fight against the growing consuming approaches towards young people in the non-formal education field. - To explore meanings, roles and complementarities of different educational approaches and methods (formal, non-formal, informal). - To reconsider daily youth work practices. - To understand the principles of program building and NFE within Youth in Action. How it will be done? In order to have real impacts, the participants experience an innovative approach, using a full immersion in the experiential learning cycle: doing/ feeling, reflecting, transferring... To have profound impact, we need to go further than classical running of training courses. The participants are encouraged to really build their own training and learning process, supported by a fine tuned pedagogical programme. We consider that this is the condition to understand the real power of NFE. A TRAINING PROCESS MUCH LONGER THAN THE TRAINING COURSE ITSELF 1/ PRE-IMMERSION PHASE (6 WEEKS BEFORE THE TC): Participants receive weekly (electronic) Newsletters in order to start the training process before the residential training course: - Introduce some key elements and concepts (formal, non-formal, informal...) - Make participants reflect about their daily practices. - Discover through short presentations the team members and participants. - Creation of a Facebook group as additional tool. 2/ THE TRAINING COURSE (4 DAYS AND HALF): A fundamental flow during the training is based upon: - Experiencing: different educational settings, different non formal education methods (role play, simulation game, exercise...) - Reflecting: on the methods and its impacts, on the power and limits of NFE, on building a pedagogical process... - Transferring: to the own reality of participants, in order to improve ways of working with young people - Sharing: different perceptions, current situations and experiences. - Developing: the building capacity of the participants, by including them in the decision process of the project designing (participants will decide some sessions they feel they need to have) but also in the implementation of the program (‘Power to the People’ moments). 3/ THE CONSOLIDATION PHASE (8 WEEKS): - At the end of the training course, participants write an action plan to see concretely how they plan to transfer their learning’s in their daily practices. This action plan is sent by the host NA to the sending NA's, in order to bridge participants with their NA. - Trainers’ team is fully available for participants for mentoring, individual support and consultation of participants, mainly in the implementation of their action plan. Participants should be at least 18 years old and should have a good level of English. The training period and the consolidation phase also serves as period of implementation of the Youthpass process. The program lasts for four full days with arrival day on Friday, 23rd of October 2015 and departure day on Wednesday 28th of October 2015.
