TOY - Trainers Online for Youth
This is a reference for Ciobanu Florin
The project aims to strengthen the participation of young people with fewer opportunities in community life. It supports them to use DiscoverEU Inclusion and active participation to explore their potential. It equips them with skills to understand participation mechanisms and to act as active citizens in their communities. It guides them to discover European values and opportunities at local, regional and European level. It also focuses on building healthy, green and sustainable life habits. Objectives
To support young people with fewer opportunities to understand how participation works in their community.
To develop their skills to act as active citizens and make responsible choices.
To help them identify European values and participation opportunities available around them.
To encourage a healthy, green and sustainable lifestyle as part of their personal development.
Just Romanian, there where formed 2 groups of 5+1, in total 12
The programme included name games and trust-building activities to create a safe group atmosphere. Guided discussions helped the participants understand expectations and responsibilities. Team tasks supported cooperation and problem-solving. Interactive exercises introduced European values and active participation. Case studies and short simulations helped the group connect participation with real situations from their community. Daily reflection moments supported learning and helped participants prepare for their DiscoverEU Inclusion journey.
Participants understood what active participation means and how they can use it in real situations. They gained confidence to travel, communicate and represent their community. They learned how to work in a team and how to manage responsibilities during the DiscoverEU Inclusion experience. They improved their knowledge about European values and opportunities. They became more aware of their role as young citizens and felt more prepared to act independently, make decisions and engage in their community in a healthy and responsible way.
I designed and guided the two-day learning process. I prepared clear session plans and adapted them to the needs of the group. I explained tasks, offered support and kept the activities simple and easy to follow. I helped the participants understand expectations, responsibilities and safety rules. I coordinated with the team to manage time and group dynamics. I created a safe space where every young person could participate. I supported reflection moments so the group could connect the learning with their upcoming DiscoverEU Inclusion experience.
