TOY - Trainers Online for Youth
This is a reference for Isabel Carayol Lorenzo
The training "Make the change come true - live your life sustainable" wanted to promote sustainable and healthy behaviours among young people through non-formal and outdoor education.
The main topics were sustainability and social entrepreneurship and how each individual can be part of a sustainable change in the world.
The participants were encouraged to reflect upon themselves and their lifestyles concerning in particular sustainable and healthy ways of living.
In this project 30 participants aged 18 to 30 from five different countries, namely Germany, Croatia, Lithuania, Portugal and Italy participated.
During the whole training non-formal education methods such as group exercises, simulations, presentations, games, role plays and outdoor and experiential education were used.
One output of this training was, that participants were more concious about sustainability and the effects of their own behaviour and lifestyles.
They were encouraged to become proactive and in their own personal way and contexts make the world a more sustainable place for everyone.
My role in this training was the role of a trainer. I was responsible for planning the content of the training on the one side and for carrying out the training on the other side. My colleague Juliane was responsible for training sessions as well the organizational part of the training.
My role in the training was especially to give insight on the topic "sustainability" and "social entrepreneurship".
