TOY - Trainers Online for Youth
This is a reference for Daniel Gismera Casasola
The aim of the training is to provide an international learning experience to train in the design and implementation of youth exchanges with quality parameters, so new collectives could access to this program.
Objectives of the Training Course:
- To provide a wide introduction to the Erasmus+ in the part of youth, focusing on youth exchanges and their capacity to enhance the active participation of young people, especially for newcomers to the program and with fewer opportunities.
- To develop the necessary knowledge, skills, and attitudes to organise a exchange project, based on the non-formal learning practice and principles and quality standards of the Erasmus + Programme.
- To offer an individual and group learning experience through a simulated process of creating a youth exchange.
- To enable participants to reflect on their learning and to learn more about Youthpass – the strategy on the recognition of non-formal learning in the youth field, its technical tool to produce Youthpass Certificates, and its application in youth exchanges and other actions.
- To offer the opportunity to meet potential international partners to develop future projects.
