Objectives

Jeugddienst Don Bosco is a national recognized youth work organization that also works on an international level. As a member of Don Bosco Youth-Net, a European network of Don Bosco organizations, we wanted to organize "Educate to elevate: Training of Trainers". This project gets organized every few years, every time by a different member of the network. This mobility of youthworkers was an advanced training course aimed at experienced volunteers wanting to become active as a trainer on local level and within DBYN's pool of trainers or beyond. The main aim of the training course is to strengthen young people to be a resource to others by providing them with competences that can improve their role as trainers on a local and international level. Together with our partners, we formulated objectives for the training course that were also in line with the objectives of our organizations. • To improve personal trainer’s skills of participants in order to become members of DBYN’s Pool of Trainers, and deliver training both on the local and the international level according to the needs of the network. • To raise the participants’ awareness on how to integrate Human Rights Education (HRE) into educational activities following the educational style of Don Bosco. • To initiate the continued process of self-directed learning and self-reflection as trainers • To create a strong learning environment where participants learn from each other, build interpersonal networks and learn to use the existing framework of DBYN. • To empower and support participants to get engaged in existing / new international activities and processes, in the framework of the DBYN
