07-13/03/2016 - Training Course "Event Wise Training" (Ommen, Netherlands)

Event Wise is a dynamic personal development training that equips educators in order to support their parallel process into guiding young people’s learning.

Due to the overwhelming response to the 24th version of Event Wise we are launching the 25th version, which brings again the attention to Educators, Trainers & Youth Workers in order to support their parallel process into guiding people’s learning.

Being an educator working on personal development is interlinked on your own competences development, it is a parallel process. Your personal concepts about non-formal education are influencing the working methods that you use as youth leader, for instance. Enlarging your perspective in non-formal education also enlarges your possibilities as an educator.

It will help you stand up for yourself with integrity in a social context and increase your ability to deal with demanding situations.
