"The Laboratory for Youth Workers" is a training course that will take place in Šibenik, Croatia, from 9th until 16th of November 2019 and will bring together 27 (+ 3 members of organizing team) participants from 9 countries. The training course is specially designed for youth workers interested in coaching (training) and using the coaching methods in the work of their organizations. Coaching as a training or development process via which individual is supported while achieving a specific personal or professional competence result or goal is an important component of effective functioning of NGO as a support for young people. Individual work with using the coaching methods inside the organization, as well as work with local communities, can increase the quality of NGOs' work generally and have direct influence on the target groups organizations work with. At the same time, we face a problem that youth workers representing NGOs which work for local communities have lack of coaching skills in their work. First of all, it is caused by the reason that youth workers are not aware about importance of these coaching skills. And as a result, they are not able to use in their work. Moreover, it is caused by lack of professional coaches and coaching trainers which are ready to share their knowledge and experience with youth workers, which in a way comes from lack of proper non-formal education, missing international cooperation in this field and supporting system between NGOs around Europe. The objectives of this training course are: - To learn about importance of coaching skills in youth work; - To learn coaching skills how to use different techniques and methods in individual coaching in order to guide and mentor volunteers knowing more methods and techniques.; - To practice different coaching techniques and methods; - To increase the quality of NGOs' work in local communities and inside their own organizations; - To establish partner relationships between organizations and create the support system; - To learn about opportunities for young people and youth organizations in frame of Erasmus+ Programme; - To plan the activities for future cooperation between the organizations.
