"<< Objectives >>In a time when Europe is facing uncertainty, while it is being challenged by multiple crisis, economic instability, Brexit, refugee crisis, many citizens are falling under the temptation to join either extremist or populist groups that are moving away from the original European idea, towards more xenophobic and authoritarian views, as such groups gain popularity by the day. As demonstrated by-elections and referendums across many European countries and the anti-EU movements gaining momentum. Young people are amongst the most vulnerable to the messages spread by such groups, as are also the ones most affected by the economic uncertainties and the ones who feel most distant from the representative democracies they live in. In this scenario, youth workers and youth organizations are ill-equipped to face and counter the powerful and professional public communication of the hate-groups. The purpose of this training course is to equip youth organizations and youth workers with the necessary tool to be a voice as well, to be heard and follow, and to deliver their message, much different from the loud ""hate"" one, which is being heard more and more. “You have the voice!” is a training course that aims to support the professional development o young leaders and youth workers to raise the quality of their social media campaigns and knowledge on different platforms aiming for social change. We will approach the idea of communication on different levels and include a hands-on Media Laboratory which will be the real practice. The training course uses methods of experiential learning as role-plays, simulations, and case study methods and group sharing methods as small and large group discussions.""You have the voice!"" is designed to take place in Slovakia having a length of 7 days with 27 youth workers youth leaders, current or potential board members or volunteers from 10 countries will work together in order to set personal and professional goals and have the self-confidence to carry them out, to guide others on a course of action, to influence their behavior, and show them the way. The activity will take place from 02-08/09/2020 Travelling days will be 01/09(arrival) and 09/09 (departure). The non-formal participatory methods that will be utilized include simulation games, role play, plenary debates, interactive lectures, audio-visual presentations, brainstorming, small and large group discussions, self- assessment and more. All working activities will aim at fostering intercultural learning and exchange between participants from diverse backgrounds and young people with fewer opportunities.<< Activities >>The training was designed to try to solve those issues commonly taken as a problem for youth leaders and worker, and it was the base concern of the partners in the project, that want to act in local, national and in European level and understand how to approach them using social media tools. Activities as such are made to empower youth workers to be multipliers and in turn empower the youths they work with every day, therefore very much depends on the suggested profiles by the promoters concerning who can take part in this training and what is the added value for the organization. Our minimal requirement from the participants is that they will be over 18y.o. In order to ensure the gender balance in the activities carried out in this training course, we first indicate gender balance requirements with all promoters. If some promoter fails to reach a balance, we will try to balance throughout the whole list of participants. Youth-workers and people who work with youth on a regularly basis are in a position to influence young people's choices and attitudes for social changes. They also have the opportunity to motivate and empower youth to use a creative approach in planning their future and the future of their communities and choosing their personal actions and education strategies and the future of their communities. We will give priority to people with fewer opportunities during theselection phase. We have chosen a variety of non-formal learning methods and techniques in order to address the different needs of the participants and the desired outcomes with activities such as:icebreakers and energizers, discussions in the plenary, question and answer sessions, group building activities, simulation exercises, debriefing after each exercise, case studies, individual work, work in small groups, brainstorming, presentations, info sessions for theoretical output, hands-on experiences, team games, tests & quizzes, intercultural events, representations/ act- outs in the plenary, interaction with mentors and business experts, practice learning through the debate exercise. At the Activity Timetable (attached) we describe all the activities and the objectives we wish to reach with each one.<< Impact >>As a result of this educational activity, the participants will develop the skills needed in order to work more effectively within their organizations and to raise their opportunities in the job market. With their participation in this capacity-building training, the young people will be able to support their organizations, to multiply the impact of youth work, to raise the visibility of their projects and to contribute to the breaking of the vicious circle of unemployment. The results of the project will be organized in a portfolio with descriptions, pictures, interviews, results, and evaluations and will be spread in the network of all the partner organizations and also in European forums created for theYouth such as the European Youth Portal, the Eurodesk and many more described this application. The partners will support any organisation that wish to duplicate the project either in Europe or in the Partner countries with the material, know-how and good practices. We are expecting the participants to act as multipliers by applying the new knowledge into practice within their organizations and their communities. More young people will learn about the prospects of Erasmus+ and visibility within the local communities where the partners belong will be guaranteed. BODRUNG plans to implement the same training course again with its own funding in order to impact more young people in the future. A key feature in the success of all cross- border collaborations in the development and maintenance of contact between potential partners. By encouraging the participants to make new partners with whom they can work within the Erasmus+ programme in the future, this project will have a strong European dimension. The development of new partnerships will help to disseminate and exploit the results of the project widely amongst young people in the participants’ target groups, and to new partners in the future."
