Key(s) For Change – Phase 1

Training Course / 21-29 November 2021 | Creative Space, Hollókő, Hungary

Key(s) For Change is a 6-months project with 3 consecutive, residential, international trainings for trainers and an additional coaching process to support participants in realizing their own educational activities – based on 15 years of active experience

Our aim is to pass on the experiences we gathered in the last 15 years about educating and training young people and youth workers and train a new generation of trainers ready to apply our methodologies and educational approaches in the field of youth work.

This project is for people who:

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

Selection: 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
Individual coaching for learning needs during the training courses
Special materials and evaluation tools
Certification at the end of the 3 modules

Project build-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.

1st training – Key aspects of trainership
Dates: 21-29 November 2021
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.

2nd training – Self-coaching
Dates: February 2022*
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.

3rd training – Advanced training for trainers
Dates: April 2022*
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 session
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.

*Exact dates are flexible as of now and will be announced later on.
