The National Agencies of Hungary, Slovakia, the Netherlands and the SALTO Training & Cooperation Resource Centre (SALTO T&C RC) are inviting interested candidates to apply for an expert meeting from 01-05 April 2016 in Glind (NL).
We are looking forward to candidates which apply in tandems: one youth worker with a (former) participant. For the participants the international mobility experience was a successful - maybe life changing - experience (maybe of course also for the outh worker).
This expert meeting 'Time to show off!' is the first step in a long term project to create a systematic change in the support of youth workers working in international learning mobilities. The aim is to be better equipped to indentify and support individual learning processes of partcipants and transform and translate the outcome into life competences, among them employability competences.
The expert meeting is for 'experts': youngsters and youth workers who successfully participated in an international youth mobility project and are aware that they have learned during the activity.
We are looking for 10 couples who are willing to share and explore the learning process.
The objectives of the fuirst expert meeting are:
- Discover and discuss successful learning experiences and support processes in youth mobilities;
- To get an insight in the learning throughout the whole process of the learning mobility and understand how youth workers can encourage and empower young people to identify learning goals and learning outcomes;
- Unlock / reveal hidden competences gained in learning mobilities and collecting evidence to recognize them;
- Reflect and recognize the learning outcomes in relation to a desired future reality of a young person;
- To discuss how international youth work can contribute to personal development and employability of young people and develop recommendation for the further process;
- To support young people and youth workers to 'translate' learning outcomes into life competences, including employability competences.
