TOTEM has been designed to support the learning of those youth workers and youth leaders - already experienced within EuroMed Youth Cooperation - who want/need to develop their competences as trainers in this field.
TOTEM responds to the need of developing specific EUROMED-related competences in the field of training and tries to address to a very specific target group of candidates, being its existence part of an overall bigger strategy which encompass also supporting Youth In Action and EuroMed Youth IV programmes.
18 Mediterranean and 20 European participants meet at Euromed Youth Center of Adrasan, Turkey from 18th to the 29th October 2011 to contribute to the development of a network of trainers on a Euro-Mediterranean level and to become active actors in the field of Euromed Youth Cooperation.
The participants for TOTEM are already youth workers and youth leaders who have experiences in the field of international work and/ or in Euromed who want to develop their competences as trainers with a methodology based on the approach and practice of non-formal education.
The methodology of TOTEM is based on the approach and practice of non-formal education in youth worker and youth leader training, as they have been developed and implemented in the past years in training activities which - to different extents - had something to do with training of trainers in EuroMed.
