Training Course: "Training of Youth Workers - Into the Future"
12-18 December 2023 | Osterholz-Scharmbeck, Germany

This training course will provide the space to explore challenges, improve youth work competences and create long-lasting partnerships based on the ETS Competence Model for Youth Workers.

There are a lot of young youth workers, who have good ideas and motivation, but they are lacking knowledge, skills, and experience to work in the youth work. Since in many European and neighbouring countries, including some participating on this project, there's no official university for youth workers, people who decide to spend their life doing youth work, often don't have chance to get this necessary skills that would help them in their work with the youth.

These are the objectives of the training course:
(1) inform and train youth workers in the eight competences from the "Competence Model for Youth Workers”, (2) support youth organizations in increasing the capacity by identifying and addressing challenges (3) provide a space for sharing knowledge and exchanging experiences and good practices, (4) increasing the knowledge and skills of youth workers by learning from each other (5) establish long-term partnership among partners on this project
