Leader training seminar YOUth Can!

Aims & objectives

The aim of this training course is to provide learning opportunity and skills development for youth workers, leaders of international and local youth volunteering activities, projects and programs with special focus on inclusion of young people with fewer possibilities. With this project, we expect youth workers to be able to initiate, develop, prepare, implement and evaluate an independent volunteering initiative.

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

Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Macedonia, Greece, Serbia.

Training methods used & main activities

We used non-formal activities for experiencing leadership, project management, communication and conflict management in practice including 1 activity day there participants had to organise 6 activities as a group.
Equity walk
Walking debate
Energisers
Icebreakers

Outcomes of the activity

Participants learned on their own skin different approaches to leadership and what is their leadership style.
By the end of the week they were able to experience several times being a leader and this made them have good insights on their own way of being a leader and an organiser.
