Main objectives:

– to exchange information and realities in the different countries of the participants to get a deeper understanding of the diversity of this topic.

– to deepen our understanding of legal frame and terminology related and relevant in working with YMRA

– to explore the role(s) of a youth worker in the inclusion process of YMRA

– to share good practices, tools, methods on specific topics related to working with YMRA  (for example self-care of

a youth worker, mental health – PTSD and trauma, advocacy, connection with the local communities…)

Methodology and programme elements:

The methodology of this training course is based on the principles of non-formal learning. This will enable participants to fully participate in the learning process. We will adopt this to the needs and motivation of the participants as well to the ongoing group dynamic. A range of working methods can be used such as discussions, presentations, role play, simulation, energizers, reflection team building, field visit, expert speakers, etc.

The training course will address youth workers who are:

– engaged as a volunteer or professional in an organization/service and

– working or planning to work with YMRA.
