TOY - Trainers Online for Youth
This is a reference for Steve Borg
The Leadership Summer School (LSS) is a global, annual, intensive training event for inspirational youth leaders. During 10 days, the project fosters skills of motivated participants from all over Europe and beyond, engaged in international organisations, and supports them on their path of becoming future leaders and active citizens. The participants, aged from 18 to 35 years, are students and/or young professionals from different countries, fields of studies, and paths of lives. Many are members of student or youth associations, others are fresh graduates or young professionals.
The project is coordinated by Zero Generation partnering with several international youth organisations.
Aims of the project
The main purposes of the event are to:
1. Improve their leadership capabilities of prominent members of participating organisations;
2. Create and impart a framework and environment for each participant to implement in his/her organisation to network and uncover possible new or better ways of cooperation
3. Enrich the skills of the trainers, by designing and delivering materials together with trainers from different organisations and backgrounds.
4. Build a strong and global network of energetic leaders who strive to spark social change
We were big group of trainers from different countries;
Malta, Croatia,Hungary, Netherlands, Lithuania, Brasil, Greece, Switzerland, Luxembourg, Norway.
colb's learning styles were used together with 4mat: why, what, how and what if. Since it's a leadership summer school, we gave them a lot of space to explore and practice their leadership skills to experiential activities. A lot of brainstorming and discussions led to creating short projects and testing them out, we were facilitating the whole sessions.
We trained our participants on various soft skills such as emotional agility and emotional intelligence, non violent communication, leadership styles, motivation, group dynamics and public speaking.

1. Emotional agility
