TOY - Trainers Online for Youth
This is a reference for Roberto Rossetto
Summer University is the flagship project of AEGEE.
Advanced SUPS (Summer University Project School) aims at training Summer University organizers/coordinators on conflict management, team management, group dynamics, leadership, fundraising, storytelling. Since the scope is so wide and the time so limited, 12+ working hours a day are actually happening.
We were 3 trainers (from Spain and Slovakia) and 2 co-trainers (from Germany). We had 13 participants from The Nederlands, Czech Republic, Germany, Ukraine, Turkey, Poland, Russia and Spain.
Simulations and vernissages were dominant.
One of the trainers simulated a museum room with paintings on Risk Management and relaxing background music.
A simulation on Corporate Fundraising and a Roleplay on Leadership under handicapped conditions have been run as well.
The training was highly experimental and got quite some attention within our network (Facebook event for reference: https://www.facebook.com/events/1881380861916212/).
A detailed evaluation form allowed us to spot significant increases in knowledge and understanding for our participants, mainly in the areas of Team Management, Storytelling and Conflict Management.
I performed as project coordinator and full time trainer, managing the trainers' schedule, keeping an overview of the local organizers' activities and developing+delivering part of the sessions myself.
