TOY - Trainers Online for Youth
This is a reference for Jovan Stalevski
The main objectives were:
To present and validate the research results developed by the four country research teams.
To select the most relevant interventions suitable for adaptation into youth work tools.
To guide participants through a facilitated tool-design process using experiential and co-creation methods.
To develop at least 15 evidence-informed tools tailored for youth workers supporting young people affected by family risk factors.
To outline a preliminary curriculum structure that will later be finalized by the expert team.
To strengthen cooperation and shared understanding between researchers, trainers, and youth workers from the partner countries.
The seminar brought together 25 researchers, trainers/experts, and youth workers from N. Macedonia, Malta, Estonia, Italy and Turkey.
The seminar used:
Experiential learning methods (CEFE-based)
Small-group co-creation workshops
Structured intervention analysis templates
Blueprinting sessions for tool development
Peer-review and evaluation rounds
Each day blended input, reflection, and practical creation, enabling the group to progress from theory → intervention selection → tool design → early curriculum mapping.
The tools were developed after the three sessions of presenting 35 interventions from family therapy by the researchers from WP2. And the 3 sessions of reading and selecting which interventions were considered to stay and which interventions to to be left aside. A total of 17 interventions were decided to be further developed into tools for youth work. A total of 15 methodological tools were created, by using the design tool template, and its example.
Each tool including: Title; Purpose; Target group; Related intervention; Description; Methods used; Step-by-step structure; Materials; Expected outcomes; Safety notes.
