TOY - Trainers Online for Youth
This is a reference for Csenge Fazekas
The objectives of FaciliCraft are to:
- Better understand what facilitation is and which competencies one needs to be(come) a facilitator
- Gain creative and engaging facilitation skills
- Develop one’s own facilitation style and creative facilitation toolkit that can be used in the context of IVS
- Test out and evaluate the facilitation style and toolkit in the context of the participant and their IVS organisation
The FaciliCraft training programme was open to anyone:
- Involved in the field of IVS (volunteering, staff, board member, etc.), preferably through an organisation that is a member/partner in CCIVS, Alliance and/or SCI.
- Based in other EU Programme Countries.
- Interested in creative and engaging facilitation skills - to be explored through improvisation theatre, cognitive exercises, communication techniques and many more.
- Committed to actively participate in and follow-up in the second phase of the project as described above.
- Excited about the idea of spending a week with an international group from all over Europe, focusing on improving the IVS experience and its outcomes for (future) participants.
- Able to speak sufficient English to be able to express yourself during the training as well as the (online) evaluation afterwards.
- Looking forward to a fun week in Overasselt, the Netherlands!
