AIM AND PROGRAMME ELEMENTS

We aim at empowering and building up the competences of educational practitioners to design, facilitate and evaluate meaningful educational activities in inclusive youth work, especially with and for marginalized youth:

--> exclusion, inclusion, participation: what groups and individuals are we talking about? What do we want to reach with & for them, and how?
--> learning and non-formal education: approaches, conditions, models, factors, processes
--> meeting the needs of inclusion groups: matching of target group ↔ needs ↔ objectives ↔ methodology, how to ensure impact & relevance
--> practical tools and methods for the design, facilitation & assessment of educational activities
--> creation & testing of own educational modules with/in front of group
--> practice in feedback, empathy, coaching & communication skills
--> hot issues, common challenges and best practices in educational inclusive youth work
--> role(s), context, ethics & competences of youth workers and inclusion workers in an educational context
--> self-assessment, coaching & professional development plan
--> partnership-building and the development of follow-up activities
