The Slovak Civil Society Organisation “EduEra” is happy to
welcome you on our upcoming international seminar
“COLOURS OF YOUTHWORK”.
The Slovak Civil Society Organisation “EduEra” is looking for participants from ERASMUS+ Programme
Countries and Eastern Partnership Countries for a 6-day-lasting international seminar for sharing
practices in youth work.
The seminar is targeted at youth workers and managers in youth organisations who are interested in
sharing practices and learning from each other in order to …
.… enrich their own youth work and toolbox
… provide better services to young people
… improve the work of their organization and create more impact
… build lasting international partnerships to support each other and run activities together
The seminar will take place from November 18th to 25th of 2019 in Bardejov in eastern Slovakia.
Funding is provided by the Slovak National Agency for ERASMUS+: Youth in Action, Key Action 1,
Mobility of Youth Workers.
PROFILE OF PARTICIPANTS
We are targeting youth workers, youth leaders, community leaders, mentors, social workers, teachers,
the main criteria being that the participant be actively involved in value-based youth work in an
educational role.
Participants must be aged 18+ and be residents in the country of the nominating partner organisation.
Participants should be fluent in english, and be willing and committed to work hard (about 9 hours per
day at least). Participants should furthermore commit to carry out agreed preparatory tasks and be
willing to follow-up on the seminar via active youth work, ideally in co-operation with their
sending/partner organisation
AIM AND PROGRAMME ELEMENTS
All participants should be willing and able to share practices in youth work that can inspire the other
participants. In that sense we would like to underline that the event is not a training course, there will be
facilitators to support the participants in their sharing, but the content (= the practices) must come from
the participants.
The practices to be shared can relate to any aspect of youth work, it could be tools and approaches in how
to support and work directly with young people, how projects and activities are managed, how to cooperate with different types of stakeholders in youth work, how to create and measure impact, how to
provide information about opportunities to young people, whatever it is that you think you do well and is
worth sharing.
The participants will be chosen in a way that the contributions are as complementary and diverse as
possible and represent an inspiring portfolio of different practices in youth work tackling as many
different areas as possible.
