WHY DO WE HAVE THE TRAINING FOR ESC TRAINERS?
The Training and Evaluation Cycle (TEC) is an essential part of the European Solidarity Corps. Among all, the quality of the programme depends on:
Supporting trainers in the development of their professional competencies in the topics and particularities of the European Solidarity Corps is our common contribution to improving the quality of the programme.
OBJECTIVES
TARGET GROUP
24 participants, who are either new / beginning TEC trainers or trainers who want to become (more) involved in the field of European Solidarity Corps training (of coordinators, mentors, volunteers). Approximately half of the participants will be selected from Eastern Partnership countries (and exceptionally from the other neighbouring partner regions) and half from programme countries.
Participants are expected to be motivated and ready to devote time to all elements of the training for trainers (9 days of residential activities, ca. 24 hours of online course learning, ca. 8 hours of online meet-ups and a practice at a residential TEC activity of at least 3 days).
SELECTION CRITERIA OF PARTICIPANTS
TIMEFRAME
TWO RESIDENTIAL ACTIVITIES
The Training of Trainers consists of 2 residential activities: May 20-25 in Georgia (arrival May 19, departure May 26), and 16-18 November in Poland (arrival by lunch November 16, departure after lunch November 19). The event in Georgia will focus on reflection and practical exercises of principles of non-formal education, intercultural learning, facilitating learning of individuals and group work, designing and evaluating educational programmes, etc. The event in Poland will allow us to summarise experiences of the practice activities, reflect working within trainers teams as well as in various environments, share trainers' inspirations and network for future collaboration. The learning at both events will be framed in the context of priorities of the European Solidarity Corps (inclusion and diversity, digital transformation, environmental protection and sustainable development, participation in democratic life, common values and civic engagement, promotion of healthy lifestyles and mental health, innovation). In both events, special focus will be given to solidarity and civic aspects of youth training.
ONLINE LEARNING ELEMENTS
The Training for Trainers consists of 4 online meet-ups with participants, ca. 2 hours each, that will provide participants with the necessary information for following steps as well as offer spaces for discussions and sharing on the topics relevant for youth trainers' competence development. The Training for Trainers is also made of an asynchronous online course of 4 modules at the HOP platform. It will allow participants to be well prepared on the topics mentioned above for the residential activities. Each module, beside its informative elements will have interactive elements, allowing learners to be actively engaged in the learning process. Each module is estimated at 6 hours of learning.
TRAINERS COMPETENCE MODEL
Both kinds of activities: residential and online will focus at developing and reflecting Trainers Competences as defined by the ETS model.
