"Youth Exchanges for Youth 3" (YOU4YOU3) has been the third edition of a project aiming to improve participants’ knowledge in the field of non-formal education, and international mobility, in particular about youth exchange projects (KA152- YOU).
This training course focused on project design and helped participants navigate the project cycle from ideation to evaluation. The key topics were: needs assessment, goal setting, impact, learning cycle, communication, evaluation, and general project management.
The target group of the TC was: Youth Workers, who were motivated to implement international mobility projects. The program has been financed through the accreditation of the host organization, Youth BCN; therefore, the application was open for 27 participants from the program and associated countries.
NFE activities to support group dynamics and team-building.
Simulation-based activity to support communication within the group.
Idea-pitching during an NGO market to foster networking.
Project-based learning to embed educational content in real-life activity creation.
Participants of the TC continued collaborating, 5 project teams have successfully applied for European grants since the training, and at least 3 new organizations have been created by the participants.
I took part in the educational content development and the training/mentoring activities during the project.
