GRAPHIC FACILITATION FOR YOUTH WORKERS

By implementing this project, we want to enhance the competences of youth workers in graphic facilitation, visual thinking and digital visual tools. As a result, we want to provide space for the youth workers to develop competences that will boost their motivation and willingness to self-develop professionally and use innovative tools and methods that make their activities more accessible and attractive for the youngsters they work with on a daily basis.

Objectives

More specifically, the objectives we want to achieve through this project are the following – we want the youth workers involved in the project to:

develop their theoretical and practical competences in graphic facilitation and digital tools;
discover the power of visual creativity in youth work, both as a method and as a goal in itself;
learn about visual support in the learning process with respect to the topic of accessibility and learning styles;
become more self-confident in graphic facilitation and creativity.

The project directly answers the needs voiced by the partner organisations who are looking for ways to improve the quality of the activities implemented by the youth workers involved and engage more youngsters in their work. Additionally, the organisations want to implement new, innovative tools that they are not sufficiently competent with and share their experience in youth work with other partners, at the same time, in order to create international cooperation initiatives.

We are looking for 21 participants:

at least 18 years old;
able to communicate in English and work in a multicultural context;
being an active youth worker / NGO worker / teacher or looking to work with Youth in the future;
with a valid residence permit in one of the organizations’ countries;
interested in the topic of graphic facilitation;
motivated and excited to learn :)
being present during all the parts of the project (preparation, activity, dissemination);
ready to use the acquired competences after the activity in dissemination and follow-up activities.
