Project summary:
In organizing this training, Richter, U-GO and DRONI wish to give opportunities to organizations from Europe to share their experiences and to gain knowledge and new skills in the fields of youth work, as well as establishing new contacts and developing common project ideas. This project will bring together up to 20 youth work professionals to work together to explore the theme of volunteering at a local and European level, for young people from all types of backgrounds.
Aims and objectives
The aims of the training are
• To explore the theme of volunteering, with a particular emphasis on promoting the inclusion of groups with fewer opportunities;
• to advocate for the techniques of informal learning;
• to explore the aims and objectives of the European Union’s Youth in Action Programme, with particular emphasis on the European Voluntary Service, and to place it in the context of youth work;
• to develop cooperation across Europe and enhance European networking.
The objectives of this project are for participants
• to learn about youth work practice across Europe;
• to understand the theory and practice of volunteering;
• to explore different techniques for developing volunteering amongst young people with fewer opportunities
• to share knowledge and experience of recruiting, training and managing volunteers within their own organisations;
• to be able to use techniques of informal learning with young volunteers within their own organizations;
• to have a good working knowledge of the Youth in Action Programme;
• to develop new projects together.
Working methods
The training is designed as a process of informal learning and peer education using participants’ own experiences in the fields of youth work and international cooperation. To be successful this will require participants to have an active input in sharing knowledge and experience, and to be willing to learn new skills from the trainers and from each other.
Participants
To succeed in the stated aims and objectives the project needs partners who are experienced in the field of youth work and youth arts and who have a mandate to represent their own organizations. Applicants should either participate in and/or organize youth activities and must have some practical experience in cross border collaboration (exchanges, European volunteering etc). Note that international volunteers cannot be included as participants in this training as they are already receiving funding from the Youth in Action programme and this type of double funding is not allowed under the rules of the programme. However, previous EVS volunteers or those who want to do EVS in the future will be very welcome to apply. There will be 24 places (maximum) on the training and the applicants should fulfill the following conditions. They should have
• at least 2 years experience as an organizer;
• the ability to use English as the working language throughout the project;
• a willingness to fulfill an open and active role in the training;
• the availability to attend the full duration of the project;
• an opportunity to share new information, skills and contacts within their own organization;
• an ambition to set up new projects in the field of the Youth in Action programme;
• a mandate to make concrete agreements with other organizations.
Financial information
Almost all expenses will be covered by the hosting organisation, with funding from the EU Youth in Action Programme. This includes food and accommodation, local transport and all training costs. In addition 70% of travel expenses will be reimbursed, based on the most economical form of transport (APEX, student fare etc.). Please note that there may be limitations for travel reimbursements, depending on the country and the distance (further details will be sent to successful applicants.)
Application and selection of participants
Participants will be selected by project leaders on the basis of:
• the profile of participants as described above;
• the rules of the EU Youth in Action Programme;
• the experience, expectations and training needs of the applicants;
• the desire to create a balance in the range of participating organizations;
• the desire to create a balance in the range of geographical areas represented.
Successful applicants will receive confirmation of their participation, followed by more detailed information when the funding is confirmed by the EU’s Youth in Action Programme.
