15-23/5/2015- Special Effects: Training Course (Cascais/Praia Grande, Portugal)

Training course for trainers, youth workers, focalizers who like to work with nature, who want to develop their facilitation competences and add some special effects to their trainer’s body, mind, heart and spirit through nature based methods.

DESCRIPTION
‘Special Effects’ is an innovative 8-day training course for trainers, facilitators and youth workers who already have some experience in non-formal education and experiential learning.

The programme is designed for people who are ready to learn, explore, discover and develop their skills, competences and know-how and will be able to use it later in their jobs and communities.

One of the special effects of this course is the aspect of including activities focused on spirituality and nature based methods in the modern, European non formal education. The methodology is based on approaches where nature plays an important role and is present as the environment, tool or content.

We will work on all the most important aspects of learning activities: programme structure, flow, methods, techniques, group dynamics, presentation skills, personality of the trainer, roles and balance in the training team and we will experience it all in a real life situation with school youngsters.

The programme will be very flexible and we will be ready to adapt it following very closely the participants’ needs and expectations for the course; plus, a space will always be open for participants who will want a more active role, taking the initiative and practicing non formal education by actually doing it.
