Training course
27 November - 3 December 2011 | Reykjavik, Iceland
The idea is to focus on learning how coaching can be applied in supporting groups of young people who run a youth project within the Youth in Action Programme. In other words, how coaching can increase youth participation in the youth project?
For full detailed description see the attached document.

The course will be based on the principles and practice of non-formal education taking into account participants needs, motivations and experiences.

Communication between participants and mutual understanding will be encouraged in order to enable exchange of knowledge, skills and attitudes and to reflect upon them. The group will act as a resource for the learning process taking into account individual and group learning.

A diversity of working methods will be used to highlight the role of the ‘coach’ and the approaches for supporting youth group projects. To ensure a balance between theory and practice, a range of workshops, inputs, simulation exercises, presentations, discussions, debate and sharing will be included.

Previous experiences in coaching youth group projects will be the starting point of the programme and of the learning process. Space will be given for regular feedback and reflections and review.
