TICTAC in Bulgaria - Multilateral Training Course to support quality in Training & Networking projects of Youth in Action

TICTAC is targeted at voluntary and professional youth workers and youth leaders involved in international youth work and interested in using Action 4.3 (also within 3.1) of Youth in Action as support measures in their organization’s long term strategy.

The overall aim of the TICTAC TC is to develop participants’ competences for implementing Action 4.3 / 3.1 projects, as support measures in an organization’s long term strategy.

Specific objectives :

* to promote the YiA Programme as an Educational Tool ;

* to explore the YiA Programme with a special focus on the aims of Action 4.3 / 3.1 and its activities ;

* to understand the role of Action 4.3/ 3.1 projects within a long term strategy ;

* to simulate the first steps of organising an Action 4.3 / 3.1 project within an international team ;

* to develop participant’s competences in planning Non Formal Education and Intercultural Learning Processes ;

* to promote Youth Participation and European Citizenship as key elements when designing a YiA Project.

In the training course participants have the opportunity to meet and to get to know others’ organisations, but contact making is not directly a priority of the training course.

TARGET GROUP The training course is designed for youth workers and youth leaders, who

* have experienced an international event/activity before (not necessarily a project under the Youth in Action programme),

* have at least basic knowledge in the Youth in Action programme,

* are newcomers in Training and Networking projects (Action 4.3/3.1) of Youth in Action or have limited experience and are motivated to learn about and make use of these Actions as a tool for creating or strengthening international partnerships and working on quality in their international Youth in Action projects,
