ΠΕΡΙΓΡΑΦΗ ΠΡΟΓΡΑΜΜΑΤΟΣ

"FACT - Facilitators Are Coming Together" is a TC arising from the cooperation among 8 partners for improving the professional competences of Facilitators and Organisations on developing Facilitation skills, methods and tools. The project aims also to strengthen the International cooperation, exchange of knowledges, experiences and learnings and the setting up of quality workshops meeting the learning needs of the target youth learners.
We will have 2 main activities linked: 1 training course that will be held in Berlin, Germany, from 10 to 18 of September 2021 (including travel days) with the topic of providing skills to the participants to act as Facilitators and a second activity, a training course, that will be held in Beja, Portugal, from 16 to 22 November 2021 (including travel days). For both activities we will have 24 participants in each from 8 countries: Germany, Portugal, Italy, Greece, Spain, Cyprus, Romana and Croatia. The participants should be the same in both activities, since they will need to develop local activities after the first training course and bring the outcomes to the second training course to evaluate the difficulties encountered and improve their facilitators skills.
A good facilitator can make a difference in the approach to a youth group and through this TC we want to give the facilitators of our partner organizations a space to reflect on their role and competencies and provide them with the necessary tools and methods for their professional development. The role of the facilitator is basically connected with learning, communication, intercultural issues, feedback, and workshop design skills: in these areas, he/she must be competent and aware. In our opinion, a good facilitator should be first of all aware of his/her own learning styles and recognize these in his/her learning process.
The global aim of FACT is just investigating the role of Facilitators and the complexity of facing and approaching the different styles for different learners, through a path of self awareness of the participants on their own learning styles. The central part of the TC will be directed to empower fundamental skills for a Facilitator (positive communication and feedback, Intercultural communication, Problem solving and creativity, conflict management, how to create a good learning environment,..). Last part of the TC will be about practicing: in groups participants will be challenged in design a Workshop programme and in performing it, according to the inputs received in the previous days. After the TC, at home, participants will implement a workshop with their youth (learners) on a chosen topic- (on support, participants can count on 2 months of mentoring by the Trainers).

Objectives

 1. Provide Facilitators a space of reflection on their role, Facilitation experiences, learning styles and learning needs and critically reflect upon their previous experience as Facilitators;
2. Improve their skills and competences on the different areas of Facilitation (coaching, workshops design, empathy, problem-solving, Conflict management, feedback, Non formal tools,..) and the quality of their work;
3. Support participants in putting in practice the learnings gained, performing workshops on their local environments (planning project ideas in partnership during one TC session and offering a mentoring support after the TC);
4. Facilitate the creation of partnership for further projects among the organisations (through the positive exchange among the organisations); 6. Strengthen participants and organisations competences and capability in youth work and international dimension and cooperation.

Methods

The activities we are going to propose will be Non-Formal education activities: mainly Team building games, simulation games, experiential activities, good practices sharing, visits, reflex groups, intercultural evenings and creative workshops.

Participating countries: Germany, Italy, Croatia, Greece, Romania, Spain, Portugal, Cyprus
