TOY - Trainers Online for Youth
This is a reference for Zach Piazas
The training aimed to prepare 20 youth workers and young people interested in youth work to become active multipliers of the change they want to bring in their communities.
More specifically:
- pilot an educational activity that will be implemented as follow-up at local level
- understand and implement the basics of the learning process in educational activities
- learn how to use feedback as a tool for improvement and appreciation
- experiment with digital tools that can help the different stages of your activity's implementation (e.g. promotion, dissemination, evaluation)
20 participants (4 per country)
- Italy
- Slovakia
- Spain
- North Macedonia
- Greece
Non-formal methods:
- Icebreaking and teambuilding activities
- Simulations
- Working groups
- Post-activity reflections and debriefings
- Meta-discussions on group dynamics
- Reflection groups
Each national group of participants refined their initial educational activity so that it can have an educational impact.
This refinement happened due to the trainings contents about feedback-exchange, and about incoprorating a debriefing into the activity that can lead participants to realisations and changes.
Participants are now expected to run these educational activities in their own local settings, but the results are not uploaded yet, since the training finished 2 weeks ago.
I was a co-trainer together with Dominik Minarik. I also helped with co-ordinations and logistical matters.
