Title: Skills 4 Success
Dates: 22 – 28 November 2017
Aim : “Skills 4 Success” is a mobility of youth workers, KA1 Training Course, under Erasmus+.There are thousands of non-profit organizations actively working for youth in Europe relying on Erasmus+ grants. Their ability to fulfil society needs depends increasingly on project-based funding. Nevertheless, while the livelihoods of many people depend on these organizations ability to deliver project results effectively and efficiently, project management (PM) is rarely identified as a strategic priority for many youth organizations. The non-profit sector is extremely diverse, heterogeneous and populated by organizations with hugely varied size, scope, targets, structures and motivations. Therefore, they face a lot of challenges which, together with absence of proper PM methodology, usually cause poor project planning, scarcity of accountability and stakeholder involvement, complexity of inter-related tasks, superficial risk management strategies, and especially unmotivated project team, youth workers/volunteers and eventually bad quality, losses of time and money.
Project activities:
The training course will be facilitated by experienced trainers, using methods of non-formal learning and will include input sessions, experience-exchange sessions, reflection-groups and discussions. Trainers aim to use the resource of the participants’ as much as possible during the programme, therefore participants will be encouraged to share their knowledge, ideas and questions related to the topic. The working methods will be varied and interactive in order to ensure a balance between theory and practice, between information and application. Taking into account the diversity of the participants in terms of culture and working experience, the methods will provide an effective group communication and will allow all participants to fulfil their expectations and needs through a progressive and valuable intercultural learning experience.
