A Youth Exchange needs content – behind the content are tools. Tools for Youth Exchanges is a training that enables participants to explore tools around group processes, (intercultural) learning, involvement of young people and how to facilitate these tools during a youth exchange. 

The overall aim of TYE - Tools for Youth Exchanges - is for youth leaders and youth workers to explore, share and adapt tools that can be used to improve their youth exchange projects.

Special features of this course:

• Interactive, diverse and engaging online learning experiences, tools and activities that can be easily adapted to face to face opportunities;
• Practical preparation for a new generation of Erasmus+, especially Youth Exchanges;
• Content about Erasmus+ accreditation and strategic approach to international youth work;
• Individual and group coaching to support participants in applying learning to practice.

What can you expect from this course:

• To increase awareness of group processes and experience tools that facilitate group development online and offline;
• To develop competences in designing and facilitating educational workshops online and offline;
• To explore digital and non-digital tools that support the learning process, including debriefing and recognition of learning;
