Objectives

There is a significant need for empowered young leaders in youth organizations, capable of taking responsibility for activities that impact their communities. Youth workers require enhanced competencies in organizational management to effectively create and manage successful projects and assume leadership roles. This project was developed by experienced youth workers from France, Hungary, Spain, Latvia, Türkiye, Armenia, Lebanon, Egypt and Morrocco in a multicultural environment. We believe that a transnational approach will help achieve the project's aims by providing a broader perspective on youth work across Europe, Neighbourhood East, third countries associated to the Programme and the Southern Mediterranean, allowing us to reach diverse youth groups. The primary aim of the training course is to develop the competencies of youth workers, empowering them to take on leadership positions and equipping them with the tools needed to lead youth organizations. Objectives are: - To identify the role of youth work in society and emphasizing the importance of youth workers. - To equip participants with tools to enhance their knowledge and develop skills in organizational management. - To introduce effective communication, leadership, and teamwork techniques. - To developing competencies for decision-making and strategic thinking using non-formal and informal educational methods. - To provide a space for discussion and sharing best practices to enhance leadership skills. - To improve knowledge of the Erasmus+ Programme as a means to enhance the international dimension of youth work through capacity-building activities. The training course will be held in Anger, France, over 7 days including arrival and departure days, with 27 participants and 3 trainers/logistic coordinators from eight different countries. The project ensures balanced involvement from both program and partner countries.
