“LeaD in Practice” (LeaDiP), aims at achieving three goals with one action: (1) Improve the competences of youth trainers/learning facilitators in areas which are typically left untouched in training processes, so that they can develop and offer high quality learning projects to their organizations’ learners, while (2) employing the principles of Intercultural Dialogue to do so. And at the same time, (3) using an innovative, blended learning format in order to engage the participants and achieve as much a greater learning impact as possible.
Eight (8) countries will be represented in this project, with 3 participants each. The 24 participants of LeaDiP will be aged 22 years and above, they will already have a role as a youth trainer, youth worker, project manager or trainer of trainers and they will be interested in advancing their skills in line with the course objectives. They will also be willing to engage fully in the blended learning format of the project.
The project will officially begin on September 22th 2017 and will be completed by the end of May 2018. There will be two distant-learning phases - one before the training course (Athens, 25/11 - 3/12/2017) and one following it.
One of the project’s key products will be a Model Evaluation Questionnaire that will address and measure the quality of the participants’ work (and the work of other trainers) in future trainings. This Questionnaire may become a key tool in evaluating future projects funded through Erasmus+.
The project is funded by the Erasmus+ Program and travel costs were calculated according to the European Commission distance calculator.
Travel costs will be refunded at the end of the training course, after providing all original tickets and receipts. We will cover 100% of actual expenses, up to the maximum amounts listed below. Food and accommodation will be covered fully for the duration of the training course.
