Objectives

Focusing on the non-formal learning, we strongly believe that it is important to continue its promotion, at a higher and higher pace, in order to keep up with the challenges that modern European society is facing: youth unemployment, social exclusion, xenophobia, etc. Still, for many young people and NGOs Europe-wide there is a lack of understanding of the benefits of non-formal learning and lack of knowledge in terms of methodology. It is therefore necessary to strengthen the awareness of young workers and leaders, as NGO representatives, and of young people themselves in order to promote non-formal education as an integral part of learning and education. Moreover, they should be exposed to relevant non-formal methodology and also encouraged to think outside the box and produce methods of their own. The aim of our training course was to make non-formal education methods more popular among the NGO representatives that are working with young people and encourage them to use such methods in their day-to-day activities. In order to reach our aim, Love to Learn had the following objectives: 1. To stimulate the interaction between the 30 youth workers and leaders participating to the activities, providing them space to share experiences, knowledge and learn in a constructive way from the trainers, as well as from one another 2. To equip the 30 participants to the activities with tools from the non-formal education field, through a structured programme (1 type of method each day), which they can afterwards use in their own communities 3. To create a booklet in electronic format containing non-formal education methods, thoroughly explained, designed by the participants, to be spread in the home communities of the participants (in particularly to schools, high schools, NGOs and local bodies) 4. To foster cooperation between the 10 NGOs partnering for this training course by setting up online common resources (official blog, Facebook group) and also 5 future project sketches in a dedicated session during the activities.
