Modular Training for Stakeholders Involved in Developing Youth Work at Municipal Level

Call for participants

Ingress

This modular training is designed to support local youth work developers to improve the quality of local youth work by using participatory action-research tools and creating strong local strategies, in line with existing European practices and policies.

Date/place

• 1st training module: 4 – 7 April 2022 (Belgium, Kortrijk)
• Optional individual tasks and webinars (28 April, 18 May, 8 June, 10:00-13:00 CET) between April and June 2022
• 2nd training module: 13 – 16 June 2022 (Finland, Kouvola)

Context

Want to have the space to work on evidence based approaches for youth work in your municipality? And to see what Europe has to offer for local youth work?

In the European Charter on Local Youth Work it is stated that: The quality development of local youth work needs clear procedures for continuous analysis of and reflection on outcomes in terms of how they relate to preconditions, work processes and activities, and the need for further development;

In order to meet this demand, the “Go for change” training will lead participants to a reflection and analysis of their own local youth work realities through offering tools and approaches for planning and implementing participatory action research.

The concrete aims of this modular training will be:

• Deepening the knowledge of the participants on the content of the Charter and motivate them to take this knowledge home and spread it further within their organisation and to generate change when needed to improve the quality of youth work
• Introducing tools and good practices related to participatory action research and follow up, adaptable and inspirational for local realities.
• Offering a (peer-)learning opportunity within EGL about quality development in municipal level youth work
• Supporting the internationalization of local youth work via showing links to European initiatives and programmes as well as the European Youth Work Agenda and the Bonn process.
