Long Term Training Course Objectives:
– To unite efforts of youth workers coming from formal and other youth field backgrounds for youth empowerment at local level by using non-formal education
– To build a necessary set of competences for proficient use of non-formal education instruments and tools for youth empowerment at local level
– To introduce the values, principles of non-formal educations
– To discuss the recognition of competences gained by non-formal education
– To provide the possibility to plan, experiment and to get feedback to the non-formal education activities
– To discuss and introduces the ways of integration of non-formal education activities to the system of formal education
– To provide the opportunity to assess the quality of non-formal education activities and youth empowerment process at local level
– To build a network and to create joined actions in order to address current challenges

Activities:
This project has two main Activities and three stages.
– First Activity and stage is aimed on training participants about non-formal methods of learning and their practical use.
– Second stage is “homework” stage where participants will apply the gained information at their home countries/organizations/contexts.
– And finally, the last Activity and stage is aimed on reflection, perfection of gained competences of participants which will lead to sustainable dissemination and follow up. This concept seems to us as the best way to really “educate” educators and to allow them to obtain new competences which they will use to improve their teaching approaches.
