TOY - Trainers Online for Youth
This is a reference for Dushko Radevski
Training course ''Let me show you key to success" was training for trainers. It was organized in the frame of Erasmus + youth mobility.
We addressed the need present throughout whole Europe for competent young leaders and facilitators in civil society who will be willing and able to run educational activities for youth based on the values of the European Union and the Council of Europe, through usage of non-formal approach that has proven utmost flexibility beyond the borders of social classes, gender, nationalities
The main aim was to train future trainers and to give them practical knowledge how to run session and trainings in the frame of Erasmus + youth work.
In the project there were 30 participants from 11 countries. All of them had previous experience working Participants were be involved according to their motivation and they work and contribute based on their previous experience. There were EU countries, but also countries from partner coutries, like Serbia, Albania, Kosovo.
All the activities were based on non-formal and experiential learning methodologies: ice-breaking games, team building activities, participative/interactive workshops, debates and discussions, simulations, open space technology, theater techniques. The activities were structured in order to encourage the creativity and the enterprising spirit of participants within the group. In all the phases of the project, they experienced participative decision-making process and non-hierarchical work division.
Participants reached a high learning impact, they were let in the dullness of their comfort zone. At the same time, this was a course which was done on a voluntary basis and in a safe and supportive environment.
- We implemented a holistic approach which means that all areas of existence and being of the participants were touched, we also took into account the different learning styles, and the holistic nature of the human being.
- Similar to the holistic approach outlined above, we also took care of personal and professional development, which means that the development of the participants at this TC was not only limited to their professional world, but also reached out to their personal life and possibly even to their personality, behavior, attitudes and values.
I was the creator of the program and full trainer duirng the whole project. Moreover, I was responsible for preparing the report at the end of the project.
