16-24/10/2018 - Training of Facilitators in Erasmus+ Youth (Πορτογαλία)

If you are willing to learn and improve your competences in facilitation, this is the course you are looking for.

We have detected a lack of experience and / or knowledge by trainers, technicians and multipliers of the program on facilitation techniques. Many of them don’t know exactly the difference between facilitation and training. Facilitation is certainly a great tool in non-formal education that promotes active participation, peer learning and continuous reflection as qualitative elements in any project.

Many trainers and / or program facilitators have a lack of techniques, methods, attitudes ... to facilitate program activities. This course is a basic introduction to the "art” of facilitation techniques, resources, emotions and attitudes.

The main aim of this TC is to offer to newcomers in the facilitation work within the Erasmus+ Youth program the basic knowledge to acquire skills, tools and resources to facilitate activities.
