TOY - Trainers Online for Youth
This is a reference for Alain Crudenaire
Obj 1: to increase project management skills and knowledge of 20 participants coming from Alliance members in the area of project design, project coordination, narrative and financial reporting, impact measurement and evaluation.
Obj 2: to provide the 20 participants with concrete opportunities to practice the coordination and evaluation skills through their involvement in Alliance workcamps and NFE activities during the summer season of 2023.
Obj 3: to increase the quality and impact of youth work and NFE in the key areas of promotion of peace, intercultural dialogue and social inclusion.
The training was coordinated by Mauro Carta, Alliance Training Course Director, with Flavia Palma and Alain Crudenaire (trainers), and the support of Maria Roslyakova (reporter). A support person from La Maison des Bateleurs (Coline Maupas) will join the team and will be in charge of logistic tasks.
The target group were resident in a country of the Council of Europe.
We proposed a wide range of non-formal education methods, as well as useful exercises to practise project management skills (exercises with application forms, budget tables, reporting templates, impact measurement tools). Constant evaluation, debriefing and feedback sessions were organised during and at the end of the training.
this training course allowed participants to understand the importance of vision, mission and values in the NGO sector and youth work; the sessions will deal with project design, the project cycle, definition of budgets, creation of solid partnerships, identification of funds and understanding of the donor’s guidelines.
As a member of the team I delivered some of the sessions on my own or with colleagues.
The activity was successfully implemented, also thanks to the valuable support of Alain, who prepared valuable NFE sessions engaging the young participants through well-prepared contents, methods and creative ideas. His enthusiasm and expertise were an added value for the activity and for the whole programme.
