TOY - Trainers Online for Youth
This is a reference for Isabel Carayol Lorenzo
This Training of Trainers was aimed at multipliers, educators and trainers working in organisations with the aim of establishing intercultural competences of youth.
The first part of this training curricula existed of theory of interculture. The second part of the training existed in reviewing skills of effective intercultural trainers. The third and final part of the training consisted of the implementation of gained knowledge and sharing of ideas and (previous) experiences of the trainers in intercultural training in order to implement new intercultural curricula and improve existing educational curricula.
Eventually all multipliers, trainers and educators were to implement their new or improved intercultural curricula and evaluate these via Skype conferences with the trainers Isabel and Manuel.
The target group of the training were multipliers, educators and trainers carrying out intercultural seminars and trainings in their (intercultural) organisations and youth centres.
The 26 partipants came from Turkey, Spain, Germany, Finland and Italy.
The training course implemented non-formal learning methods specifically from the field of intercultural experience based learning.
Intercultural theory as well as many exercises and simulations as well as training for trainer skills were introduced to the participants.
All partipants of the training come from the field of intercultural education, wanting to professionalize their intercultural trainings and educational youth work.
Most importantly the trainers, educators and multipliers learned how to motivate youth to actively engage in the topic of interculture and gain intercultural competences to become active, tolerant participants of their society.
All partipants developed new workshop elements of intercultural training and improved their existing curricula to reach their goals of intercultural competence for youth. The new curricula will be implemented by them in their home countries.
I worked as a concepter and trainer for this training course. Together with the responsibles of the Intercultural Training and my Co-Trainer Manuel I developed the content of the training and the implementation of it during the training course.
After the training we had skype conferences with every participant to evaluate the implementation of their curricula in their organisations and trainings and consult them in further actions.
