Η ΕΛΙΞ στο πλαίσιο της συνεργασίας της με την Ουγγρική οργάνωση Egyesek έχει εξασφαλίσει για εσάς ένα εκπαιδευτικό πρόγραμμα για εκπαιδευτές σε θέματα νεολαίας (training for trainers) και αναζητά 2 άτομα ηλικίας 18+ για να συμμετάσχουν στο “Key(s) for Change” που διοργανώνεται σε τρεις (3) φάσεις: (α φάση) από τις 21 έως 29 Νοεμβρίου 2021, (β’ φάση) 10 ημέρες εντός Φεβρουαρίου 2022 και (γ’ φάση) 9 ημέρες εντός Απριλίου 2022 στην πόλη Hollókő της Ουγγαρίας και συγχρηματοδότηση από το Erasmus+.

Λαμβάνοντας υπόψη ότι η επαγγελματική βελτίωση είναι εφικτή μόνο μέσω της προσωπικής ανάπτυξης, καθώς πρόκειται για παράλληλες και αλληλοεπιδρούσες διαδικασίες, θα χρησιμοποιηθεί ένα μείγμα τυπικής, μη τυπικής και άτυπης μεθοδολογίας, η οποία επιτρέπει να αναπτυχθεί πλήρως η εκπαιδευτική διαδικασία χωρίς να περιορίζεται σε ετικέτες και όρια.

Οι ημερομηνίες της β’ και γ’ φάσης θα προσδιοριστούν σε ύστερη φάση. Προτεραιότητα θα δοθεί σε εκείνους τους συμμετέχοντες που είναι σε θέση να δεσμευτούν και για τις τρεις φάσεις της εκπαίδευσης.

Στο πρόγραμμα θα συμμετέχουν εκτός της ΕΛΙΞ και συμμετέχοντες από τις ακόλουθες χώρες: Τσεχία, Εσθονία, Γαλλία, Ουγγαρία, Λετονία, Βόρεια Μακεδονία, Σερβία και το Ηνωμένο Βασίλειο.

Η προθεσμία για αιτήσεις είναι: 15 Οκτωβρίου 2021!

KEYS FOR CHANGE – Holistic Training for Trainers
Dates 21/11. – 29/11/2021 (date of departure)

BACKGROUND
For 15 years, Egyesek has been designing and delivering training courses in the field of European youth work based on a very unique, unusual approach, springing from 2 core beliefs:

• Holistic development - professional improvement is only possible through personal development, as they are parallel, interconnected processes;
• Integral learning - we use a blend of both formal, informal, and nonformal methods, which allows us to use education fully instead of being limited by the conventional labels and boundaries.

The knowledge that is not shared is doomed to fade into oblivion, and a methodology that is not taken by others will be outdated and fossilized.

As such, it is now the time to pass on our experiences and unique methodology to a new generation of trainers.

WHOS IS THIS PROJECT FOR?
This is an exclusive project for those who are active in the field of youth trainings; particularly those who work with groups as trainers/facilitators/educators.

If you are a resident in Czech Republic, Estonia, France, Greece, Hungary, Latvia, North-Macedonia, Serbia or the United Kingdom, you can apply for the funded spots from Erasmus +.

This project is for people who...

• have led youth programs before (training courses/workshops/ learning activities)
• have a portfolio of youth programs they led
• will facilitate activities within 6 months after the training course(s)
• are able to clearly communicate in English (intermediate level)
• are above 18 years old

SELECTION
We aim to gather a group of participants with varied backgrounds and levels of experience. This will enhance the informal learning process, through the sharing of knowledge and skills between participants.

Priority will be given to those who commit to the 3 training courses and the parallel coaching process, as we believe that maximum learning impact will come from attending the whole learning cycle.

WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT?
The elements of this professional program are designed to cater to different needs, the three trainings build on each other while having the flexibility to be applied separately.

• 3 residential training courses in Hungary
• Mentoring support for implementing your own educational program
• Group coaching based on professional topics and needs of the group
• Certification in the end of the 3 modules
• Special materials and evaluation tools
• Individual coaching for learning needs during the training courses

WHAT WILL YOU LEARN?

• tools for facilitation, coaching, and training
• advanced group dynamics
• basic NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) methods and tools
• reading a group, mapping group needs
• creating atmosphere for optimal learning
• impactful use of non-verbal communication
• embodied coaching, group coaching

PROJECT BUILT UP
The project is built as a holistic unit, where the 3 training courses and the coaching process are interconnected.
The design of the educational content is need-based: we start from a pre-designed curriculum while keeping the flexibility to accommodate your learning needs as a participant.
Each of the training courses will address a different focus

KEY ASPECTS OF TRAINERSHIP
Technicalities and practicals, communication and coaching tools for trainers. We’ll also approach the specifics of Erasmus+ and training on the field of youth work with the focus on how to approach groups.

SELF-COACHING
Personal development-based program, towards self-awareness and self-reflection.

It is there to support realizing how much our beliefs, concepts about the world, people, etc. are running in an automatic, unconscious manner; and how this unconscious functioning influences our behaviors, the results we get, and the relationships we have with other people. How to use this awareness into creating a successful mindset and behaviors.

ADVANCED TRAINING FOR TRAINERS
Tools, skills, and competences that support the participants to find their own style in working with groups and designing activities in a purposeful manner.

COACHING SESSIONS
Only those who commit to the whole learning cycle will have the opportunity to get coaching sessions after the second training course. These sessions will be there to follow up on the participants’ learning path and to support them to deliver workshops/training courses back in their working context.

METHODOLOGY
We work out of integrity: we will provide you with the same methodology, elements, and learning culture that we use in our educational approach. By walking the talk, we give the opportunity for you to learn by real-life examples and experience the magical effect of this methodology on learners.

Experiential learning or learning by doing is the main aspect of our methodology.

We will provide several inputs, activities and moments for reflection, it is up to you to make the links with your own background. We have no expectation on what or how you should learn.

This training is there for you to learn what you want to learn, to draw your own conclusions, so you can implement it after the training course is over. By using this method, we give you the stage where you can truly be the creator of your own experience.

Springing from this main method we’ll use other approaches:

• Embodied awareness
• Outdoor learning
• Peer learning
• Group coaching
• Experiential learning
• Learning by submerging
• Confrontational coaching
