Training of Trainers on Cooperating Successfully in Teams

Awero team, Teatro Metaphora, Cities of Learning partners, and the International Youth Work Trainers Guild are offering a 5th modular training for trainers, aligned to the European Training Strategy (ETS) competence model.

• Awareness of the team processes and how they affect the team’s effectiveness
• Managing disagreements constructively 
• Willingness to take on responsibilities and be proactive in a team of trainers
• Encouraging and involving other team members
• Learning with and from team members.

Please check the preliminary programme attached below. 

Participants profile:

This course is designed for people who are starting or are already experienced trainers in the field of youth work*. 

This course is for people who are:

• Already working as trainers locally or internationally, willing to strengthen competences in cooperation in teams. 
• Age: from 18 years.

The Trainer in the field of youth is defined as someone “who shapes, guides and accompanies the learning processes of individuals or groups.
