Training Course
2-8 March 2020 | Jurmala, Latvia
YOCOMO is a pilot learning experience that explores the potential of looking at competence development not only from an individual perspective, but also from a systemic perspective. In this case “the system” is not a bureaucratic or institutional one; it is rather about having a ‘systemic view’ on the whole field of your practice as a youth worker.
This course will ask you look at the role of the whole system of interconnected players in your field (for example: your organisation, young people, parents, schools, local community, etc.) on the development of your competences as a youth worker.
So, if…
Then YOCOMO 3 might be the right learning experience for you!
INTENTIONS
YOCOMO 3 intends to create a space for you, as a youth worker, to reflect and exchange on your practice using the ETS competence model for youth workers. You will also look at the potential impact the relation between ‘systems’ and ‘competence development’ can have not only on yourself, but also on the systems that you work with and belong to (your organisation, young people, local community, youth work in your country, etc.).
As participant, you will explore:
TARGET GROUP
Should you be intersted to join this learning experience, it is important that you are involved in designing, implementing and evaluating the pedagogical activities organised by your structure. You will be asked to direct your own learning and in particular, have the ability to self-assess your competences (attitudes, skills, knowledge and behaviours). All participants must have a structure that supports them (NGO, school, municipality, youth centre, etc.). A fairly good knowledge English is necessary since it is the working language.
Note: because YOCOMO courses are still part of a pilot experience, we hope to have participants who are able to provide conductive feedback and recommendation after the course.
The team of trainers for YOCOMO 3 are Darko Marković, Natalja Gudakovska and Snežana Bačlija Knoch. Following the selection process, the training team will contact the selected participants with specific information and tasks regarding the further development of the programme, which include online learning as well.
METHODOLOGY
YOCOMO 3 is based on a long-term format and blended learning, meaning that they include:
Because of its experimental nature, YOCOMO 3 includes a final consolidation meeting of about 2 days, between 3rd to 5th of June 2020 (probably arrivals on the 3rd evening, work on 4-5 and departures 5th evening or at the very latest, 6th morning). As much as possible, you should commit to participate in that meeting as well.
The general approach is based on the principles of non-formal learning and the course strongly supports reflection and self-directed learning.
