Facilitation of Learning in Youth Mobility Projects
International training course "Facilitation of Learning in Youth Mobility Projects" will gather 27 participant from Lithuania, Latvia, Poland, Italy, Germany, Romania, Spain, Portugal and the Republic of North Macedonia on August 3-11 (7 working days, August 3rd and 11th - travel days), 2021 in Lithuania. The project aims to look closely into the quality of learning mobility projects and put more emphasis on learning and facilitation of it. Which means keeping the ballance between fun and serious, professional and personal development, working with the group and addressing the needs of individuals, raising awareness of ones own learning and transfering the learning results into the communities and/or society.
“even though success rates of mobility programmes are often provided in terms of numbers of participants involved, it is clear that this approach is meaningless in a quality perspective. The fact that 100, 1000 or even 10000 young people went abroad is in itself of little importance; what is important is the nature and extent of what they brought home with them in terms of knowledge, skills, values and attitudes, and how these acquisitions contribute to the development of communities, societies and individuals. This is the learning potential of mobility” (Kirstensen et al. 2018, p. 13).
