With the training course "Leadership skills for Youth", PRAXIS and the partners want to have a positive impact on society by improving the quality of youth work. The main issues we want to address are competence development of youth workers and capacity building of the youth organizations. This training course aims to develop youth leadership as a way to: a. improve the professional and life skills of the individual participants and b. to support the capacity building of the partner organizations Leadership in youth organisations involves the development of a set of skills including team work, communication (speaking and presentation skills, starting meaningful conversations and active listening), decision making, time management, goal setting, motivation of one self and others, influence skills, facilitation of effective meetings, negotiation skills, coaching, future planning, and partnership building. It also creates positive skills and attitudes around active citizenship. The work of the non-governmental organizations affects, directly and indirectly, the lives of the most vulnerable people in the society. It is therefore of great concern that many youth organizations are considered ineffective. The direct causes of underperformance are numerous: poor leadership, lack of skills, low engagement of the members, capacity gaps, weak youth participation, stagnant processes, outdated organizational models, and so on. With this training, the youth organizations involved will benefit from the enhancement of the leadership skills of the youth workers, youth leaders and current/potential board members who will participate in the course but also of those who work for the management of the whole project. The training course "Leadership skills for Youth" is an opportunity to develop leadership skills, knowledge and competencies through non‐formal education. 33 youth workers, youth leaders, current or potential board/ council/ bureau members but also people who are in paid, elected or volunteer leadership positions from 10 countries will work together on their leadership skills in order to set personal and professional goals and have the self-confidence to carry them out, to guide others on a course of action, to influence their behavior, and show them the way. The activity will take place in Thessaloniki from 01/12/2019 to 08/12/2019 Travelling days will be 01/12 (arrival) and 08/12 (departure). The non- formal participatory methods that will be utilized include simulation games, role play, plenary debates, interactive lectures, audio-visual presentations, brainstorming, small and large group discussions, self- assessment and more. All working activities will aim at fostering intercultural learning and exchange between participants from diverse backgrounds and people with fewer opportunities.
