 |  | Let's train in recognition of non-formal learning in youth work
|  | This training course seeks to support the development of competences of youth workers and youth leaders for increasing recognition of non-formal learning in their youth work. The objectives of the course are: - Increase understanding of what non-formal learning/education is in the context of youth work;
- Raise awareness about different levels of recognition of youth work in society;
- Build capacities for developing and implementing projects which aim to increase the recognition of youth work and non-formal learning;
- Explore possible links between recognition of non-formal learning and employability/employment of young people and their active participation in societies;
- Share and dicuss experiences, examples and possibilities of working towards recognition in different societies;
- Developing partnerships for future action in this field.
|  | Much of the learning that YFU exchange students experience is through non-formal education and the benefits of this type of learning should be promoted and recognised for what it can achieve. Participants from YFU will leave this training with a better understanding of the arguments in favour of recognising non-formal learning and ways in which this can be achieved in practice. By campaigning for the increased recognition of non-formal learning, something that is a priority for EEE-YFU, this will ultimately pave the way for YFU volunteers to be given the full benefits and recognition that their experiences deserve. |  |

|  | Participants should be youth leaders or youth workers who: - Have some experience in project development and implementation;
- Have a clear interest to increase social recognition of their own work and of non-formal education/learning in general, in the wider community (some prior experience in this field is an asset!);
- Are committed to participate in the long-term training course for its full duration;
- Are able to communicate and actively work in English;
- Are implementing/planning to implement a youth work project they can focus on in the long-term training course.
Participants' projects should focus on increasing the social and/or political recognition, i.e. the impact of the organisation's youth work in their field of influence (community level, political, social etc.). The planned projects can be linked to other (ongoing) intiatives in this area, and take place on different levels (local, regional, national, international etc.).
