Together with our partners, we believe that in our daily context, digital and
graphic facilitation constitutes great learning support in youth work. It is a way to answer
the needs of our target audience who bases the learning and the information acquisition
process on visual input. We are also used to being stimulated by visual input every day,
our brain is well prepared for that and grasps information very quickly, regardless of
dominant learning style. Supporting a presentation, project, meeting or process with
visuals (such as posters, symbols, special kinds of lettering, drawings, colours, etc.) can
be a great help in youth work and can make communication with the target recipient(s)
easier and more effective. 32 participants from Bulgaria, Lithuania, Italy, Poland,
Slovakia, Spain, Turkiye and Romania will have the opportunity to explore the digital
and graphical facilitation as a powerful tool of working with young people as well as to
share and reflect about their experience and working methods.
The mobility, financed under Erasmus+ accreditation, will take place in the village
of Traisteni, Valea Doftanei (Romania), between 21st – 28th of October 2023. The
mobility also includes an advance planning visit which will take place in the same
location, between 23rd – 24th of September 2023. As the participation of young people
with fewer opportunities is a priority for us and our partners, we decided to involve at
least 1 participant with fewer opportunities from each country. The training course is
designed for people who are directly involved in working with youth: trainers, teachers,
volunteers, youth leaders, youth workers.
The overall aim is to improve youth workers/educators competences and
toolboxes for supporting the active participation and civic engagement of young people
through effective communication techniques and digital and graphic facilitation tools.
The specific objectives of the course are:
1. To introduce digital and graphical facilitation as an educational tool and
encourage the use of it in different contexts of working with young people.
2. To providing the participants with competences and a practical experience of
digital and graphical facilitation.
3. To contribute to professional development of the participants, improving the
knowledge about education through arts, foreign language competences and digital
skills, promote the method of learning through play and stimulate the creativity.
4. To provide the space of sharing the experience and broadening the
understanding about art education practices in different countries and working contexts
of the participants and to explore the possibilities of creating partnerships between the
participants for the future projects on the national and international levels.
The expected final results will be:
- 2 meetings with the local factors: authorities, community, NGOs, youth cetres,
etc. in Campina and Valea Doftanei (where our organization carries out activities).
- an activity supported by the young participants during the mobility, in one local
high school to promote digital and graphical facilitation tools for education.
- at least 240 indirect beneficiaries represented by young people and youth
workers from the 8 communities as participants in dissemination activities and follow-up
actions.
- multimedia results as photos, videos, online manual, etc. done by participants
during the mobility, promotion and dissemination of the results.
- 8 dissemination meetings organized by each partner in their community.
- minimum 8 appearances in the print/online press, social media channels, blogs,
websites, etc.
- 8 local activities/projects/actions initiated by participants as follow-up activities
in the communities they belong to.
The working methods will be based on non-formal learning. The methodology
that will be used will include methods based on communication (interaction, dialogue,
open discussions), methods based on activities (exchange of experience, practice and
experimentation), methods focused on the social side (partnerships, teamwork, group
activity) and self-knowledge methods (creativity, discovery, responsibility, action).
