What is Get Started II about?
Get Started II is a practical and experiential training course about the basics of organising and managing international youth camps and youth exchanges, and also presents the framework of Youth in Action programme of the European Union. The Youth in Action programme enables young Europeans to organise projects on an international level in order to meet each other, learn about other cultures and share knowledge and experience. Get Started II is a continuation of Get Started I. This training course covers practical issues connected with more advanced stages of organizing a youth exchange or other international activity.
The topics covered include:
• group dynamics and leadership;
• intercultural learning (also in part I but we find it an important point);
• safety issues (e.g. first aid);
• teamwork and cooperation;
• conflict management;
• PR, finding participants, disseminating the results, visibility of the project and Youth in Action;
• admission of participants;
• quality and impact of the exchange;
• financial management during the project;
• volunteers management;
• preparatory meeting/advance planning visit;
• evaluation and follow-up;
• practical issues: venue, food, transportation.
Travelling, meeting new people, speaking English – these are the most visible aspects of international youth work. Yet, there is so much more than that! Great fun and joy, intense learning, enjoying connection with people you know barely for few days, feeling a part of large international community, experiences very different to what you are used to from your local group. International youth work is an exciting world that awaits young brave Nature friends from Europe to get started in it.
