This Training Course focuses on the themes of Heath and European awareness. It will bring together 29 youth workers, youth organisations’ coordinating staff as well as volunteers from across Europe. The aims are to promote high standards in youth projects by working collaboratively together to increase the knowledge and competences of youth workers, leaders and project coordinators/managers, developing guidelines to implement safe, quality projects.
We will use informal learning methods such as ice-breakers and energizers, team building exercises, small group discussions, role-plays, individual reflection, feedback and evaluation activities.
The objectives are:
- To provide participants with the tools to design an Intercultural Learning process and to prepare participants for an intercultural meeting;
- To give participants tools on how to manage a conflict situation;
- To share tools allowing the design of a child protection and safety plan;
- To give the participants tools to conduct a risk assessment and based on that to develop an emergency plan;
- To teach the participants basic first aid;
- To promote new partnerships among the participants;
- To promote the confidence of organizers of youth projects and to encourage them to be more inclusive
- To make guidelines for youth projects concerning safety and child protection, conflict management and intercultural preparation.

Since the course is practical in nature and does not require any background knowledge, we would like to leave the very selection of your participants to yourselves. We do would like you to pick up, though, people who are either staff members, volunteers or any other active people working with or in close connection with your organisations. Also, for the participants to benefit from the project they should be involved in work with young people in any capacity. This will ensure that their knowledge gained during the course is shared and disseminated further back at home.
Health Insurance
Health insurance will not be provided or reimbursed by the organisers. All participants are required to purchase health insurance individually. If you live in an EU country and use a national health insurance system there, please apply for a FREE European Health Insurance Card: http://ehic.europa.eu
