***call closed*** What is the only thing better than exploring how to be a better youth worker, how to create safe environment for youth and support their reflection processes? The answer could definitely be: “Doing all that and more while being surrounded by beautiful beaches and feeling sun on your skin.” If you agree with that, we strongly encourage you to apply for this training course!
Location: Willemstad, Curaçao
Dates: 21.11. – 28.11.2021
“Mindset of Youth Workers in Supporting Learning through Youth Mobilities” is a Training Course for youth workers who participate or want to participate in youth mobilities. The main goal of it is to reflect on the mindset of youth workers. That means you will have an opportunity to exchange and discuss examples of good practices. You will also be encouraged to search for innovative ways to overcome challenges of youth work.
Objectives of the project:
- Debating what supports learning in mobilities and how can the youth worker’s mindset affect that.
- Finding strategies to empower and enable competence development of young people in their everyday life.
- Developing skills, important for international youth work.
All costs for accommodation and food are covered by the Erasmus+ programme. Travel costs will be reimbursed for participants from Germany. We charge a 40€ participation fee!
