02-10/11/2018 - Εκπαιδευτικό Πρόγραμμα | Understand to ACT (Λετονία)

A training course that will take place in Nicas pagasts, Latvia, from 2/11-10/11 2018. It will gather 32 youth actors from 10 countries - Spain, Italy, Portugal, Romania, Croatia, Turkey, UK, Lithuania, Estonia, Latvia

Young people are facing several obstacles that are holding them back to engage in quality participation that would be based on personal initiative, moreover, powerfully rooted in common EU values.

Therefore, 32 youth actors who are actively working with young people will come together in UACT training course and they will be provided with knowledge about European values, meaning behind European citizenship and common benefits it brings and, furthermore, they will be equipped with skills (motivation, problem-solving, critical thinking, collaboration, flexibility) and methods as raising self-awareness and learning more about one’s self in order to raise their capacity at youth work.

We are true believers that before you can help others you need to help yourself, therefore, we have included self-awareness dimension. UACT will use different self-reflection methods and tools how to reflect on one’s strengths, weaknesses, skills, obstacles, and possible solutions to review their effectiveness and when needed adapt one’s approach, rather than just carrying on doing things as they always have been done.

UACT will use mainly non-formal learning methods that consist of self-directed but continuously supported activities. Non-formal learning methods such as discussions, role plays, work in international groups, experience sharing, deep self-reflection, workshops, and simulations, so to hands-on activities would engage participants in a participatory and active learning process.

This project is financed by Erasmus+ Programme in the field of youth. Being selected for this course, all costs (accommodation, travel, food, etc.) relevant to participation in the course will be covered.
