Objectives

We are designing YOUnique training course with the intention to address the topic of vulnerability, authenticity, personal identity and courage as key elements for young people to grow up into being adults with healthy relationships with others and to themselves, which we see as key elements to functioning communities and societies. With this training, we want to provide youth workers with practical tools, methods and activities that they will be able to use in their work with youth, with intention to support young people, especially those from vulnerable groups, in accepting their identities and uniqueness as something valuable, create a solid base for creating their lives and careers, being courageous and at peace, daring to express themselves in their communities and participate in the society. By doing so, we want to prevent potential risk of Our project objectives therefore are: - To bring together youth workers from various cultural and social backgrounds, with the aim to acquire new tools and methods of non-formal education and experiential learning that they apply in their work with groups of young people, in their countries and communities - To create a safe learning environment where youth workers feel comfortable in expressing themselves and being authentic, so that they are able to firstly explore and experience the topic and activities for themselves and secondly create new tools for their work with youth - To create a platform for youth workers to exchange their own tools they use working with vulnerability, and courage to authentic expression and participation, - To offer youth workers new tools for dealing with topics of vulnerability, courage and authentic expression, including methods coming from theatre, body movement and communication - To support participants in understanding of learning processes and group dynamics (such as the Kolb learning cycle), especially in the context of intercultural learning and non-formal education, so that they are able to design safe learning processes - To create an online Toolbox - video tutorials by participants of the training, shared among all the participating organisations and public, reaching at least 1600 people (200 in each country) as a practical resource of activities for youth workers, educators and trainers, supporting them in designing workshops that aim to support young people in appreciating their uniqueness and diversity - To encourage international cooperation, networking and knowledge sharing among youth workers throughout Europe
