Train the trainers: It´s up to me (11th edition)

Training Course

15-23 June 2026 | KulturHaus, close to Bremen, Germany

11th edition – hands-on Training of Trainers focused on learning by doing. Gain practical tools, soft skills, mentoring, project design experience, and exposure to diverse trainer styles. Two activities: 15–23 Jun 2026 & 12–17 Dec 2026.

“It’s Up To Me” is a long-standing Training of Trainers programme and a well-established methodology developed through many editions and years of practice. It offers a holistic, year-long learning process designed to build high-quality competences for trainers and youth workers who want to transfer know-how, design learning experiences, and implement impactful Erasmus+ projects.

The programme strengthens participants’ facilitation skills, project design competences, and capacity to deliver meaningful non-formal education processes. By investing in trainer development, the project contributes to improving the overall quality of future Erasmus+ projects, strengthening organisations, and enhancing youth work practice across Europe.

The training is strongly practice-oriented, and workshops are based on the competences defined in the ETS Trainers Competence Model (European Training Strategy). Participants experience diverse trainer styles, methodologies, and real learning situations throughout the process.

Training Activities

The programme includes two residential training activities in Bremen, Germany:

15–23 June 2026

12–17 December 2026

⚠️ Only participants who can attend both activities will be considered in the selection process.

Between the Two Trainings

Participants will take part in a structured coaching and mentoring process. They will apply their learning by designing and implementing local projects and activities developed during the first training. Trainers will support the learning journey through individual feedback, mentoring, and resources from the Trainers Library (www.trainerslibrary.org).
