TOY - Trainers Online for Youth
This is a reference for Marta Piszczek
The aim of the BTM training course is to offer an international learning experience to practitioners active in the youth work field, enabling them to develop their competences in setting up quality Youth Exchanges as mobility projects under the Key Action 1 of the Erasmus+: Youth in Action
Objectives:
• To provide an informed introduction to Erasmus+: Youth in Action Programme, focusing on Youth Exchanges and their capacity to enhance young people’s active engagement in the making of Europe (though not exclusively) for newcomers to the programme;
• To offer an individual and group learning experience through a simulated process on setting up a Youth Exchange project;
• To develop the necessary knowledge, skills, and attitudes to organise a youth exchange, based on the non-formal learning practice, principles, and quality standards of Erasmus+: Youth in Action Programme;
• To enable participants to reflect on their learning and to familiarise themselves with Youthpass – its technical tool to produce Youthpass Certificates, and its application in youth exchanges;
• To offer the opportunity to meet possible partner groups and to make contacts in other countries.
The training course is designed for voluntary and professional youth workers, working directly with youngsters, who are interested in setting up international youth exchange projects.
Training team is composed of 6 international trainers from different countries.
The BTM programme is built around a simulation game which is interspersed with info sessions as well as activities to improve the group dynamics and ends with and evaluation.
