A non-formal group of young people from Brno, Czech Republic called Czekobanda is inviting young people to apply for the fully funded leadership skills training Braveheart. The training course is based on the experiential and outdoor learning methodology. Deadline to apply is November 30.
Apply for Training For Youth Workers
Training For Youth Workers: Most of the youth workers want to be good leaders and have leadership skills: to be inspiring and motivating, have clear vision and goals, to be able to lead a team.
You can learn about leadership from books, training courses, seminars, TED talks, and youtube videos.
However, it is a long-term practice and training that is essential for becoming a youth leader.
This course is based on the experiential and outdoor learning methodology that organizers have been using since 2006. They put stress on practical training with real effects rather than learning theoretical background. The ratio of practical training to theory is 80:20.
The training course is supported by the Erasmus+ program. Accommodation and food are fully covered.
Travel expenses are covered according to the distance calculator.
Participation fee is €150. You will get €100 back if you take part in all phases of the project.
