TOY - Trainers Online for Youth
This is a reference for Claudia Baltolu
The aims of the project were:
- To transfer NFE methodologies to youth/social workers, coaches and
educators in order to promote healthy lifestyle and active citizenship in local
activities with young people.
- To raise awareness on the social evil represented by the widespread
diffusion of sedentary and unhealthy lifestyles among younger generations in
Europe.
- To strengthen European cooperation among socially oriented actors in
elaborating and implementing activities related to healthy lifestyle education,
in particular of younger generations.
21 participants: youth leaders, youth/social workers, coaches and educators from 7 European countries:
Slovakia, Italy, Portugal, Poland, Romania, Spain and Bulgaria
The activities were coordinated through non formal education methods (as
group work and activities, presentations, workshops and personal assignments,
meetings with trainers, experts etc). During some activities participants explored the specific issues, reflecting methods and its impacts and simulation exercises for skills development,
aims at empowering participants transmitting methods and peculiar NFE educational tools, enabling them to spread positive values, knowledge and principles on healthy lifestyle among youngsters
Specific learning outcomes of the training course were:
-ability to use knowledge acquired during the TC in daily situations, for self-reflection and opportunity to improve their overall physical and health competences;
- to create a network of young people with knowledge in field of health, balanced nutrition and sport;
- to know how to use social media as a tool for health promotion and work as a multiplier for the health and sport promotion;
- to exchange knowledge, good practices and experiences related to prevention of physical and mental health;
- to promote healthy lifestyle through physical activities including sport;
I was a co-trainer and a co-facilitator with my colleagues Maria Grazia Pirina and Roberto Solinas in this project. Our international team worked together in order to share experiences and knowledge in order to set a better enviroment for the participants. My tasks were to organize, prepare and implement all the worshops.
