Through the second cycle of the project, we aimed at achieving the following objectives: Objective 1: To design, prepare and deliver 2 modular training courses for youth workers, for an average group of 24 people per course, aimed at facilitating learning networking and advocating competence areas. Each course had specific objectives based on the European Training Strategy (ETS) respective competence areas. Specific objectives of the youth workers’ training on Facilitating learning: > To identify and meet the learning needs of young people; > To facilitate learning in and from the group; > To select, adapt or create appropriate methods; > To stimulate intercultural learning in international settings; > To facilitate the process of reflection and recognition of learning.

Each activity had specific objectives; however, they were not based on the European Training Strategy (ETS) model, since it does not include such competence areas.

Additionally, for the second cycle of Accreditation, we organised the Partner meeting. This activity had the following objectives: > Explore the long-term vision and context of this long-term training programme; > Evaluate what does work well, and what needs improvement by reviewing the project’s activities; > Elaborate ideas for improving recognition of youth workers and trainers; > Explore and exchange the training quality and logistics; > Share and discuss future ideas, plans, and opportunities After evaluating the needs of Accreditation partners, especially belonging to the Cities of Learning Network (but not only) and having additional resources, we organised the additional activity - Study Visit focused on Networking and advocating. This activity had the following objectives: > To better understand networking within our field and to increase networking capacity within the Cities of Learning Network; > To build and maintain relationships and develop opportunities through the Cities of Learning peer group; > To gain knowledge about other stakeholders/networks/initiatives that the Cities of Learning Network is engaged with at the European level; > To better understand the benefits and intentions of the CoL Network; > To identify possible future partners and international opportunities; > To identify what we know about advocacy and how we can embed this in our practice.
