TOY - Trainers Online for Youth
This is a reference for Spela Gorjan
Explorin humor as a tool in youthwork. Exploring improv techniques, getting to know the theory that supports proper use of humor in youth work practice.
2 trainers, one from Finland, one from Slovenia, 1 member of support staff. 4 countries, 20 participants.
Non formal education approaches, experiential learning, working alone, in pairs, in groups, usoing theater, art interventions, body, voice, reflection, theoretical inputs etc.
The biggest outcome is that we managed to combine some fields (youth work and improv theatre, for instance) that cooperate ever since on a yearly basis.
Durring the TC I was stepping in for the trainer that got ill just before the start of the TC. I was therefore a full time trainer throughout the whole training.
Spela Gorjan participated and acted in the role of a trainer in the Ha-Ha is A-Ha training session during the period of October 7th to October 13th, 2015. Spela ensured that all facilities and practical matters were taken care of and ready in Ajdovščina, Slovenia, for the Ha-Ha is A-Ha training week. Spela took on the responsibility of leading the training with Susanna Kaulanen (formerly Alanne), as the other trainer from Finland fell ill. Spela was an excellent partner to work with, and it was easy to communicate and agree on matters with her. She fulfilled all her agreed responsibilities and was proactive.
