TOY - Trainers Online for Youth
This is a reference for Olga Kuczynska
Base of this training was the work for the development of the communication and cooperation competences for the benefits of your work. We were focusing on improving communication skills by learning and getting awareness about behaviours in groups, conflicts in groups, assertive communication and non-violent communication. All of this work was done in order to seek improvement of the cooperation.
OBJECTIVES:
1. Development of the communication and cooperation competences in groups
2. Raise of the competences of youth workers in the field of communication
3. Exchange of good practices in communication among different organisations and
people
4. To increase the level of knowledge and experience of youth workers in specific
methods of communication, like non-violent communication, assertive communication,
group communication and others.
Target group were Youth Workers from from: Portugal, Italy, Spain, Greece, Norway, Iceland, Finland, Poland, Chek Republic, Slovenia
We worked with non formal methods: work in small groups, simulation games, self directed learning, learning by doing it, presentations, World Café and others.
More specific methods were used like: Non Violent Communication and Transactional Analysis.
This training improved skills not only of 20 youth workers but we as well reached bigger number of participants of local activities that participants delivered as multipliers, here you can see that: https://goo.gl/zAey3Z
