THEMES:
PROJECT AIM: The project aims to provide the involved participants with new interactive tools to manage international groups involved in short term voluntary service projects and workcamps. For this reason the training will have specific focus on the different working methods that can be used within the non formal education framework so as to train new youth leaders, peer educators and active volunteers about group dynamics, active participation, learning assessment and conflict management. Furthermore the project will have a specific focus on peace education and human rights and on International Voluntary Service movement, as a tool to promote them. The last day of the training there will be a final event: the international participants will meet and train a group of Italian camp leaders and youth leaders about team building, Intercultural learning - ICL, group dynamics, peace, conflict management and human rights, using non formal education working methods. METHODOLOGIES: during the training an interactive methodology, based on the principles of non formal education, will be proposed (techniques like ice breakers, team building activities, energisers, role play games, will be used). The aim is to encourage the active involvement of participants, to support a permanent sharing and to facilitate the mutual exchange of experiences and knowledge. In each activity, a “peer to peer” approach will be actively encouraged: trainers and participants will share tools in a horizontal manner in order to guarantee the different learning approaches. PREPARATORY WORK: before the training participants will be invited to do some preparatory work: they have to bring a presentation concerning human rights and peace education projects in their countries. Accommodation:participants will sleep in dormitories and shared rooms with bunk beds (6 to 10 beds), with shared bathrooms, hot showers and a kitchen. All facilities are provided except washing machine. Food: Catering service will be provided for lunch and dinner. The group will prepare breakfast and coffee breaks.
