TOY - Trainers Online for Youth
This is a reference for Maria Tasheva
The TC was focused on improving the networking within the members of the European Network of Youth Centres. The exchange of good practices and new ideas; how to make my Youth Centre more attractive for the young people; how to use more effectively the network to achieve the goals of my Youth centre were the objectives.
The trainers team was comprised of 2 people. And the group was composed by youth-workers - representatives of the members of the European Network of Youth Centres. The following countries were represented: Bulgaria, Portugal, Slovenia, Finland, Greece, Slovakia, Turkey.
Interactive games, simulations and presentations, ice-breakers, work in small groups, discussions, self-reflection sessions, outdoor games, methods for sharing impressions, role-plays and more.
The positive atmosphere and the motivation of a joint work was clear in the evaluation of the training. The Network members made clear and concrete plans for future cooperation.
I worked on this training for 4 days as a full time trainer together with a colleague we shared the program development and the delivering of the sessions.
