Find your Power-ups! - The Game of Trainers' Competences

Aims of the tool

- To support self-reflection on trainer’s competences
- To identify competences to be improved
- To introduce trainers’ competences by means of a group activity
- To identify indicators for trainers’ competences within youth work (EuroMediterranean and Erasmus+:Youth)

Description of the tool

It is based on the ETS Set of competences for trainers within the context of EuroMed youth work
Both the research and the tool practice have helped to adapt the ETS competences and identify indicators within the context of EuroMediterranean youth work and proved useful to Erasmus+:Youth trainers, as well.

Steps:
1. Preparation: set up 6 workstations, with a table and chairs in each one.
2. Plenary: Give a very brief explanation of the game and its aim. Introduce the game agenda on the board, with a schedule for the rounds, the meetings and end of the game, as explained in the instructions sheet. Give participant a precise place for the meetings between rounds (you can also prepare a trading spot with a counter and chairs for the brokers).
3. Divide the group in 6 teams of 3-6 members each.
4. Distribute the material as described in the "instructions sheet". You can prepare packages in separate folders. Clarify that everything is explained in the instructions and they have to manage their our time.
5. When the game is over, get back in plenary and conduct a debriefing of the activity. You can also use some questions from the C-Power Cards Activity (also in the SALTO toolbox)
