Training Course: "The Star of Europe" in Czech Republic

Training Course: "The Star of Europe"
9-13 March 2020 | Prague, Czech Republic

Whatever you have heard about youth exchanges before or however you have organised them before, this training is teaching you how to make youth exchanges like they are meant to be! You will learn how to support young people to make their own projects, and not to make the projects for them.

Focus on involvement and partnership
The original idea of a youth exchange is a long term learning process for the groups of young people in participating countries. Young people are involved in a process, where they come up with the idea for the project, choose the topic for it and design the activities for its programme. They run the activities themselves and plan dissemination activities that they organise for other young people.

The aim of “The Star of Europe” is to get a comprehensive understanding of what a youth exchange project contains - from the idea, needs assessment of a project to the follow up activities. More specifically, the main objectives are:
1) to understand the the whole logic of lifecycle of a youth exchange project;

2) to focus on participation and learning opportunities of the young people;

3) to pay extra attention to the equal partnership and encourage partners to plan, prepare, implement and report the project together.
