The training course “Soft Skills for Hard Youth Workers” was created with the aim to attract the attention of youth workers to the importance of soft skills, and to offer them the opportunity to explore and experience new methods, tools and techniques created to foster these skills.
You will take part in simulations, role-playing games, team building activities, discussions, reflection sessions, etc. Through the created space, you will improve the autonomy, leadership, flexibility and other skills and competencies that are necessary in your professional and personal life.
At the end of the project, together with other participants you will compile in a document the activities you have created and this document will serve as a guide for the rest of the youth workers who have an interest in the topic of the soft skills and their development.
The Objectives of this Training Course are, therefore:
- To improve the knowledge of the youth workers on the topic of soft skills and their importance.
- To develop and enhance the soft skills of the participants which they need in their everyday job and personal life.
- To offer the opportunity to explore, design and experience new methods and tools aimed at fostering the soft skills.
- To promote the role of youth workers in the process of training young people and helping along with their access to the labor market.
- To facilitate the exchange of experiences and good practices and create a favorable environment for the establishment of new partnerships and initiatives.
- To promote the activities within the Erasmus + program and the opportunities for youth mobility as opportunities to develop soft skills.
- To create a document with innovative tools and methods dedicated to the development of the “soft skills” that will be used as a guide by the rest of the youth workers.
As part of an international team with participants coming from Spain, Greece, Italy, Lithuania, Poland, Portugal, North Macedonia, Romania and Germany, you will be encouraged to share experiences and take initiative.
