With the TOAST project we wanted to create a communication space for trainers. In our work as youth workers and trainers we realised that communication is something we do on every day basis, yet we are usually not trained in this matter, nor do we have ideas on the rules that govern the communication world. As trainers, we ask questions, we explain concepts, we translate difficult notions into lean language, we write, we inspire, we listen, we hold space, we provide feedback, we facilitate group processes. But only few have a background in communication and tools to understand how the mechanisms of communication works and how to improve it. Trainers do not need to be officers of communication, but it is extremely useful in the education world to know communication theories, tips and methods which can be used in youth work and training. When applying for the TOAST project, we spotted a need for trainers to be equipped in communication skills, at the level of personal communication, group dynamics communication and communication with the world. Effective communication allows us to reach our goals, engage new voices, increase audiences, unite people to our cause, and advocate for youth perspectives. As Wonderers Collective, we are coming from a peacebuilding background, thus we believe that the added value of communication is also its peaceful and nonviolent aspect. Wanderers Collective belongs to Youth Peace Ambassadors Network (YPAN), where peace education is a tool to create nonviolent communities. Through our training we wanted to boost the quality of peace education and youth work within our network and beyond, which we planned to do by boosting the communication skills of trainers. We have also realised that it is crucial to train in communication which leads to dialogue and peaceful coexistence, as opposed to the communication which is violent and manipulative. Youth work is value driven towards ethical development, which we understand as free of violence, thus we would like to combine communication with nonviolent approaches. Youth work and trainers are also expected to tackle emerging challenges and innovate its practice, and boosting the communication skills of trainers is in line with this goal of the European Youth Work Agenda. As U. Von der Layen remarked in the SOTEU, we need to "open lines of [intercultural] communication" and have a vision for the upcoming EU Elections 2024" where communication will be a key for policy making. We reached the realisation of the existing need to organise training for trainers specifically in communication, after a year of running talks, evaluations and debriefings with our partner organisations, members of Youth Peace Ambassadors Network, trainers with whom we cooperate and youth workers we train. As an outcome of our research, we proposed the training for senior (experienced) trainers to boost their skills in effective communication, and having checked with 50 youth trainers, 95% of them answered they would be very interested to join such a training as they spotted their need to develop their skills in this field. With this project we wanted to create a space where trainers with experience could learn about communication methods and approaches which would support them in bringing dialogue, youth, engagement and fun to the communication in youth work. Our project developed 4 pillars of communication skills: Dialogue, Empathy, Engagement and Empowerment for Action. As the answer to the above needs, with the TOAST project we aimed to equip 28 trainers with communication skills to enable them to design and implement quality peace education activities with young people towards fostering dialogue, empathy and youth engagement in their local communities. The objectives of the project were: to develop participants understanding of the role of effective communication in peace education; to strengthen personal communication skills of trainers by getting familiar with the communication theories, inter alia nonviolent communication and Von Thun model; to develop communication skills for managing group dynamics, such as groupthink, feedback and peak-end; to enable participants to address current challenges to human rights by engaging audiences through techniques of storytelling, public speaking, six-word-rule and framing effect; to create space to map challenges and exchange tips and methods on effective communication within training and youth work setting; to create space for participants and their organisations to design and implement at least 5 peace education activities mainstreaming gained communication skills to contribute to the development of a sustainable cooperation among trainers and youth workers through the building of the outreach Platform with Communication Canvas (PCC).
