TALE : aims and objectives
Aim
The overall aim of the Training for Trainers is to enable participant-trainers to competently design, implement and evaluate quality European training activities putting forward the values underlying European youth work.
Political and strategic objectives
The political and strategic objectives of the Training for Trainers are:
- To serve the development of the coordinated approach for training trainers in the youth field in Europe;
- To enlarge the existing group of experienced trainers able to develop and implement quality training activities in the European youth field, and to support the further development of the existing European trainers’ pools;
- To contribute to the development of a profile of youth trainers in Europe by fostering the recognition of essential competences of trainers in the youth and non formal education field;
- To develop and use innovative concepts and practices for training trainers in non- formal education across Europe;
- To highlight the values underlying European youth work and to reflect on how they can best be promoted in training activities;
- To contribute to the quality and sustainability of the youth programmes of the European Commission, the Council of Europe and their respective partners;
- To make use of the existing resources of these stakeholders for a common aim and to create synergies;
- To exemplify the beneficial interaction of youth research, youth policy and practice and its importance in the design, implementation and follow-up of training activities.
Learning objectives
The training course will contribute to the personal & professional development of participant-trainers, so that, within the frame of European youth work, they should be able to competently plan, implement and evaluate training activities in different fields and contexts, based on an adequate needs analysis and using appropriate methodologies.
This implies that participant-trainers should be able:
- To guide and facilitate intercultural group processes, and to deal effectively with ambiguity and change;
- To co-operate in international teams of trainers and to manage a training project effectively;
- To create an appropriate learning environment, by reflecting about learning to learn, different learning styles and how to address them in training;
- To understand the current realities of the European youth field (in link with youth policy, youth research) and to put training activities into this perspective;
- To engage with the broader institutional framework of training activities at European level and to take this framework into account when designing training activities; to find a common ground between the needs and interests of the institutional partner and those of the participants.
For every participant-trainer, this will mean going through a process of competences development, which will be reflected upon and assessed during the course in regard to key competences of trainers. As a result of it, participant-trainers will explore the learning path of trainers conducting trainings at European level.
As a result of it, participant-trainers will engage in an individual learning path of a trainer as part of their lifelong learning process.
