Training Course: "Cherry on the cake- youth exchange in the context of a long term work with groups of young people"
6 October - 1 December 2020 | online, Slovenia

The aim of the training course is to deepen the understanding of the potential and possibilities of a Youth Exchange as a tool for non-formal learning in long-term work with young people.

The training concept has been developed as a means for systematic support for organisations working with young people from Erasmus+ Programme Countries and the West Balkan region, who already have the basic understanding and experience in Youth Exchanges. The TC is also an opportunity for contact making and partnership building.

a.support to involvement of young people from local level activities to international setting
b.specific challenges of local/international youth work in current reality (post COVID out break situation);
c.the unclear modality of youth exchanges in next generation of Youth Programme;
- Increase the participants’ understanding of the role of a Youth Leader in all phases of a Youth Exchange.
