TOY - Trainers Online for Youth
This is a reference for Jo Claeys
These short term training courses are based around a simulation exercise which aims to train youth workers in organising youth exchanges within European Union Programmes for youth.
A strong focus on preparation, follow-up, project management, partnerships and especially the active participation of the young people involved. These trainings target new users of these programmes and offers them an introduction and practical information to be able to implement themselves such international project afterwards.
Participants come from different countries, composing an international group which creates the right setting as a reference during the training itself. Up to 30 participants per training course.
All methods used frame within non formal education.
An average of 2 to 3 BTM (Mobility of young people) and 1 to 2 TICTAC (Mobility of youth workers) trainings each year.
These trainings are run by an international pool of 6 trainers. My tasks for each BTM varies between (contact)trainer and (report)trainer.
