Summary: Practical training course for professionals and volunteers (age 21+) responsible for leading international youth exchanges. On the course we will share knowledge and experience, and develop a joint code of practice.
Target group: Youth workers, Youth leaders, Project managers, Volunteers
For participants from: Albania, Austria, Bulgaria, Macedonia, Former Yugoslav Republic of, Serbia, Turkey, United Kingdom
Group size: 28 participants.
Details: This is a fully residential programme for youth leaders. You will spend a week together with other professionals and volunteers from 7 European countries, sharing experience, learning from each other, and developing a common code of practice for youth exchanges which you can then use to train your colleagues and others after you return home. A successful international youth exchange should be a rewarding and memorable experience for everyone involved. But looking after other people’s children in a foreign country, keeping them safe while allowing them to have fun, is also one of the greatest professional responsibilities you can ever have. If you have already led youth exchanges, you will be aware of the issues that can arise, and how to deal with them – but there is always more to learn. If you have not yet led an exchange, but you hope to do so in future, this course will give you essential advice and reassurance. During the course you will also get the chance to develop new ideas for Youth in Action / Erasmus for All projects.
