Context/background:

Get Inspired! is a Key Action 1 project comprising of two training courses that will be held at the ASHA Centre (Forest of Dean, United Kingdom) in 2015. The project will focus on personal development methods and coaching in youth work. Life coaching as a concept focuses on personal development (both physical and mental; ranging from personal achievements to healthy food and healthy lifestyle). This project will address these issues through non-formal education. Our key target group are those working with and for young people, and their harmonious development, both in terms of maximising their potential(s) and promotion of a healthy lifestyle (more action, less video games!).

When young people are empowered they can make change happen in their local realities. Participating in this project will help youth workers to make young people gain a better understanding of themselves. Life coaching is a technique that aims to draw out a persons' potential rather than looking for outside knowledge and strategies to assist individual change.

Specific course objectives:

- Introducing the framework of Youth (Life) Coaching to participants
- Reflection on the essential qualities of a good Life Coach
- Fostering participants’ Youth (Life) Coaching skills
- Sharing ASHA’s good practice and experience in Life Coaching
- Developing the capacity of partner promoter organisations in Youth (Life) Coaching
- Developing of coaching projects within Erasmus Plus, especially KA1 courses.

As far as travel cost reimbursements are concerned, we would reimburse a percentage of the overall cost (most probably 80%, we are still awaiting details from our NA on how to proceed) up to the limits set out in the E+ Guide (flat rates).
