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

The Training Course was open for 24 voluntary and professional youth workers, working directly with young people, from Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Slovenia, Italy, Moldova, Poland, Romania, Turkey, Ukraine and Spain.

Training methods used & main activities

The working methods were based on the principles of non-formal education and sociocultural education. We combined theory with practical learning, experience exchanging and self-reflection. All participants were invited to actively take part in the training throughout dynamic and interactive activities, workshops, simulation, case-studies, collaborative work activities, debates, etc. By using these wide scopes of methods we achieved a dynamic training and it made each participant to learn and develop new skills that they will be able to use in their work and associative life, as well as their private life.

Outcomes of the activity

The main outcome of this course is the learning process of the people who participate in it. We also have as a result a series of projects that have been presented in different countries.

But besides that, and as the main result to share, we have the mural that was developed in the activity as a summary of what has been done:
