Graphic Harvesting Trainer Skills Workshop

This workshop aims to expand trainer toolkits with design thinking methodologies and to equip trainers with the skills to integrate the use of graphic facilitation and creativity in order to enhance their practice.

Description

The Graphic Harvesting Trainer Skills Workshop will focus on:
• Practical skills development in Graphic Recording/ Scribing/ Visual Facilitation
• Knowledge and Awareness of design thinking process as a method for innovation in practice
• Supporting learners in reflective space in the context of European Training Strategy (ETS) – in the field of youth

– Learn how to use lettering, coloring, symbols, shapes and start to develop your own visual language
– Learn how to grasp meanings while recording
– Learn how to think strategically about the outcome of the recorded conversations/meetings

Trainer Skill Workshops (TSW) are offered twice a year as part of a strategic long term cooperation between NAs and SALTO T&C RC coordinating European training offers for trainers. It supports advanced trainers exploring a certain area of trainer work and related competencies of the ETS Competence Model for Trainers. In the context of TSWs, advanced means that the trainer-learner has the capacity to reflect on their practice as a trainer. This also implies a capacity for [self] assessment.

Supporting the competence development of trainers is an important aspect to ensure the high quality of youth worker trainings in Europe. The European Training Strategy therefore calls for the development of a modular system to train the trainers of youth workers by defining a set of essential competences that can be acquired in specific courses and serve to establish a pool of certified trainers in Europe. SALTO T&C RC keeps this subject on its agenda and develops projects in cooperation with NAs and other stakeholders.
