Description

About the Training

A Youth Exchange needs content — but behind the content are tools. TYE enables participants to explore, share, and adapt tools around group processes, learning, and involvement of young people, and how to facilitate these during a youth exchange.

Bring your current tools, half-finished ideas, and open questions — and get ready to take them apart, rebuild them, and make them stronger. Together, we will trade tools, explore and experience methods, and co-construct approaches that raise the quality of youth exchanges.

This is not about ready-made solutions. It’s about rolling up your sleeves, testing what you know, what works, fixing what doesn’t, and leaving with a toolbox that is richer, sharper, and ready for use.

Who Can Apply?

Eligible participants include those who:

• Have experience organising and/or participating as a team member in an international youth exchange
• Have applied for youth exchange project funding and are awaiting an answer, or have a pending youth exchange
• Have applied for a youth exchange project and been rejected, and are planning to apply again
• Have an interest in preparing a quality application for a youth exchange within the new generation of the Erasmus+ programme

You should:

• Be at least 18 years old
• Have a good level of English (no translation provided — you should be able to understand and communicate comfortably in English)
• Be engaged in working with young people, with direct contact with young people already involved or wanting to get involved in an international youth exchange
• Be ready to actively build, test, and share

Important to know

Group size: 24 participants

Working language: English (no translation provided)

You will be by default accommodated in twin rooms (a great opportunity to get to know a colleague youth worker better), but if you have a specific reason to have a single room, we can cater for that.
