ΠΕΡΙΓΡΑΦΗ ΠΡΟΓΡΑΜΜΑΤΟΣ

THE AIM OF THE PROJECT is to develop the creative and critical thinking skills of youth workers and youth leaders for the development of non-formal education.

THE PROJECT TASKS:

- To get to know different thinking methods;

- To understand the similarities and differences of creative and critical thinking;

- To understand our own way of thinking, its impact on work with young people and teamwork;

- To strengthen the understanding of the creative process and creativity-enhancing environment;

- To train the skills of generating creative ideas;

- To develop critical thinking skills;

- To exchange experiences and intercultural practices in applying creativity and innovation in the youth work;

- To create an appropriate environment for the development of new partnerships and new creative projects in the Erasmus + program;

- To provide project publicity and dissemination activities at local and international level.

Nowadays it is difficult to tell exactly what requirements will be imposed on the personality in the future. Therefore, it is important that youth workers and people who work directly with young people would be able to develop their competences, skills and abilities, including creative thinking, which provides an opportunity to adequately assess new circumstances and develop effective strategies for dealing with potential problems in youth work. Nowadays in the learning process, both in non-formal and formal education, great emphasis is placed on developing thinking skills so that young people can make more adequate and serious decisions, to develop themselves and their abilities to speak, communicate, be in society and successfully build their careers. By strengthening their competences in this field, youth workers and youth leaders will also be able to develop young people with whom they work and who may be affected by the creativity, positivism and knowledge of youth workers. In designing this project, our idea is to organize a training course for youth workers and youth leaders on the development of creative and critical thinking and their use in non-formal education, and the rethinking of creative project ideas with young people. In the current competitive environment to think "from another perspective" and "to another direction" means a lot that can produce significant results. The more complex the modern world becomes, the more creative and decisive people should be to solve different challenges of life.
