The project “Team it up – management in practice” is a training course which is financed by the European Commission through Erasmus+ programme (2014-2020), Key Action 1 in youth worker mobility.

25 participants from 5 countries: Poland, Romania, Lithuania, Bulgaria and Spain will learn and share experience on what a team is and how to develop it, manage it or strengthen it in order to work more efficiently in youth work.

Goals of the training course:
1. To better understand the different types of education (formal, non-formal, informal), their specific methods and their benefits in forming a team.
2. To implement non-formal education methods with groups between 15-30 people, to be able to create our own team-building and trust building methods.
3. To have more trust in our abilities to work with big teams (20-30) of young people, to have a more open minded attitude towards young people.

Participants will acquire Knowledge about the different stages of forming a team, conflict management and communication with groups. We will not only learn in theory and by doing non-formal education methods, we will also have the opportunity to practice during two days of workshops given to the youth in high schools in Walbrzych.
