TICTAC Training Course & Partnership Building Activity Mobility of Youth Workers

Aims:
● to develop participants’ competences in planning Non Formal Education and Intercultural Learning processes;
● to promote Youth Participation and Active Citizenship as key elements when designing a European and international project. 

The specific objectives are:

• to promote the ERASMUS+ (Youth) Programme as an educational tool;
• to explore ERASMUS+ (Youth) Programme with a special focus on quality international cooperation, particularly on youthworkers mobility;
• to understand the role ERASMUS+ (Youth) Programme within a long term local strategy;
• to develop the first steps of organising a ‘Mobility of Youth Workers’ project in the youth field within an international team;
• to develop participants’ competences in planning Non Formal Education and Intercultural Learning processes;
• to promote Youth Participation and Active Citizenship as key elements when designing a European and international project.

The TICTAC is designed for youth workers and youth leaders, who :

• have experienced an international event/activity before (not necessarily a project under the ERASMUS+ (Youth) or European Solidarity Corps programmes);
• are motivated to learn about and make use of the ERASMUS+ (Youth) programme for creating or strengthening international partnerships;
• are willing to work on the quality of their international projects;
• have the support of an organisation to attend the TICTAC and are in the position to implement European youth worker mobility projects in their organisation,
• are minimum 18 years old,
• are able to use English as a working language in order to establish effective communication during group-work and sessions. A low level of English will limit learning opportunities.

In the TC/PBA participants have the opportunity to meet and to get to know other organisations, hereby the possibility to create partnerships for future projects.

The TICTAC is built around strategic planning and a real project cycle. During the course participants and trainers will explore the dimensions of such a project (planning – wording – reviewing – applying) thanks to a simulation exercise, case studies, and working groups. Besides, the trainers’ team will provide activities to improve the group dynamics and a final evaluation.
