We are designing “Take the Lead” as a training on leaderships skills for youth workers, volunteers, trainers or anybody who is in a role of leading a team, a youth group, a youth programme, etc. and wants to become an inspiring and authentic leader, who is able to motivate and empower others. With our partners involved in the project, we work with young people for many years and we see that they often struggle to find their own place in a team, having a lot of doubts about themselves. In youth work, often very young people become leaders in different projects, workcamps, activities and they are learning how to do it “on the go”, facing various challenges that work with people brings. With this training, we want to support them in grounding themselves in the leader role, in discovering different ways of cooperating and communicating with others and achieving the results they want to have, while being able to include and empower all the other team members or people involved. The objectives of “Take the Lead” training are: To support participating youth workers in becoming more confident in their work with young people and with teams they work with To identify personal strengths of participating youth workers that will serve as building stones for their own leadership style To develop youth workers skills in giving and receiving feedback, problem-solving and clear communication in challenging situations To encourage proactive and accountable attitude in various challenging conditions, taking in consideration and including all the people involved To support youth workers in working out of vision and values that are important for them and in being able to transmit this as an inspiration to others To enhance youth workers value on the labor market through developing the above mentioned competences To empower participants to create impact in local environment by designing new community projects To enable exchange and sharing of different leadership practices among different organisations and support international cooperation and networking
