Description

TICTAC is a multilateral training course to support quality in training and networking projects of Youth in Action. It 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 training course is to develop participants’ competences for implementing Action 4.3/3.1 projects, as support measures in an organization’s long term strategy.
The specific objectives of the course are:
  • 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.
