About the project
The project origins and objectives
Nectarus team, Cities of Learning partners, and the International Youth Work Trainers Guild creating a good practice example in Europe on how the European Training Strategy (ETS) can be translated into specific actions – a set of modular training courses for trainers.
The training course will contribute to developing the trainer’s digital competences
- To improve proficiency in digital tools and practices used in youth work training context
- To enhance training skills to work in interactive digital spaces
- To explore the potential of using emerging digital solutions in training (AI, VR, etc.)
- To increase understanding of how digital transformation impacts youth work and training
There is no training programme yet. The programme will be based on the specific needs analysis and competence self-assessment of participants who will be selected.
Highlights of this training activity
Aligned to the ETS competence model for trainers – the course objectives and content are aligned with professional competences expected to facilitate learning in international training setting for youth work.
It focuses primarily on the international youth work training context – how to facilitate seminars, training courses, study visits, and other formats of youth workers‘ training mobilities.
Certified training – the broad coalition of partners will create opportunities for the course participants to assess, validate and recognise competence development at the international level and in specific countries (if possible).
Digital-friendly – the training and competence assessment methodology and activities will include using digital tools and platforms, such as the Trainers Appraisal platform and digital Open Badges.
Long-term development opportunity – participants willing to continue to develop their professional trainer competences will be invited to apply for the upcoming training courses on other competence areas.
Endorsed by the International Youth Work Trainers Guild, a broad partnership of Cities of Learning members and other national and international organisations from the youth field.
