Improv(is)e IVS

Aims & objectives

Erasmus+ funded training project focusing on improving the quality of International Volunteering Service projects, by equipping youth workers
with innovative improv skills, mindset and creative project/problem-solving tools (such as design thinking).

Target group & international/intercultural composition of the group & team

We were a trainers team of 4, and the 22 participants were a diverse group of teachers and youth workers from 10 countries in total.

Training methods used & main activities

Non-formal education methods: energiser games, role plays, simulations, lots of interactive sessions and reflection discussions. We used improv theatre activities and design thinking as the frame topics of the course.

We have a short documentary created about it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ctG_xAeFwuA

Your tasks and responsibilities within the team

As one of the trainers, I was responsible for designing and delivering from moment one. I was the responsible facilitator of the design thinking block, but actively contributed to the other sessions too and helped the organisers with whatever was needed.

I worked on this training for 6 days as a full time trainer.

Testimonial of the reference person
