The ‘why?’ of this course is very simple. On the one hand, many young people are struggling to get started in life, to find their place in our society, not because they are not good enough but often because they are not aware of their own full potential and do not know how to make the most of it. On the other hand, many people want to help but do not necessarily know how to. How to listen properly to someone? How to guide someone? How to awaken someone to their own potential? How to even believe that one is able to help someone else to find their path in life? This course will hopefully look at both these dimensions of youth coaching.

The aim of the course is two-fold. It is first for participants to understand themselves better and become aware of their own potential and goals in life. Then, it is for them to learn the tools and skills that will enable them to help others to become active and more self-aware.

The course will be based on non-formal education methods, including experiential learning tools, practical exercises and creative workshops. It will contain, among others, sessions on non-violent communication and active listening, confidence building, self-awareness and relationships, as well as elements of artistic and physical expression as a tool for self-exploration. The course will also explore our relationship to the outdoors and nature as well as to a healthy life-style.
