How Will It Be Conducted?
To achieve real impact, participants will experience an innovative approach, fully immersing in the experiential learning cycle: doing/feeling, reflecting, transferring…
For a profound impact, we need to go beyond traditional training courses.

The Pedagogical Process The training will follow a fundamental flow:
Experiencing: Engaging in different educational settings and non-formal education methods (role play, simulation exercises, etc.).
Reflecting: Considering the methods and their impacts, the power and limitations of NFE, and building a pedagogical process.
Transferring: Applying insights to participants’ own realities to enhance their work with young people.
Sharing: Exchanging different perceptions, current situations, and experiences.
Developing: Building participants’ capacities by involving them in the decision-making process of project design (participants will decide on some sessions they feel are necessary) and in the implementation of the program (‘Power to the People’ moments).
Participants must be at least 18 years old and have a good command of English.
