TOY - Trainers Online for Youth
This is a reference for Milcho Duli
The entire project will put a lot of emphasis on the key competence “learning to learn”, as mentioned before the whole project is meant to bring out the importance of the youthpass regarding self-learning recognition and learning
organization. Participants will go through Youthpass as a program session within Erasmus +, about self-assessment and competence development, common understanding in
the team about learning, outside the Erasmus + as a tool for supporting young people employability. Groups will gain theoretical input and practical advice on how to use
such tool, explore the key competencies, exchange/share activities, methods and sessions addressed at organizing/recognizing your own learning, build up new activities.
The activities will enable participants to better understand their role inside their organizations as well as in their local environments. To come across different realities, with local issues and conflicts, will shape the mind of the participants. Similarities and differences will come to light,
followed by ideas and debates which participants should be able to elaborate and reproduce for their needs. In the same way as mentioned earlier about the key competence “learning to learn”, the activities will focus particularly on boosting the sense of initiative of the participants. The activities will stress the ability to turn ideas into actions, with special attention towards projects/ actions which might support entrepreneurship, self- employment or youth employability. Through the activities,
everyone will be more conscious regarding his/her learning needs in prospect of self-development, regardless which area or field you work in.
Specific goals are:
- To familiarize participants with the concept of Youth Pass as an educational program and its possibilities within and on the outside of Erasmus +
- To explore the 8 key competences
- To develop participant’s competences in planning NFE and intercultural learning with particular attention on building structured learning processes
- To set up strategies for the better recognition of youth work and non – formal education
- To share tools and methods in order to support young people self-learning and self-assessment
