CLOSED Call – A Full immersion in Non Formal Education, WIP is looking for Youth Workers!

European Youth Conference Recognition of Non formal EDUCATION Weimar/Germany 10-16 October 2014

WIP is the Italian Partner of the 2nd European Youth Conference about Recognition of Non Formal Education!

As one result of the “1st European Youth Conference: Strengthening the Recognition of Non-Formal Education in European Youth Work” in March 2013 in Cracow one outcome was, that European Youth Workers need to be given the possibility to share best practices on the Recognition of Non-Formal Education. Therefore the 2nd version of this project will focus on the exchange of tools and instruments used in different European countries and to further develop a common strategy to be implemented on the local, national and European level to improve the recognition and quality of Non-Formal Education in European Youth Work.

The objectives of the 2nd European Youth Conference are: – to exchange and to develop common tools, instruments and strategies to increase the transparency and quality of youth work and non-formal education – to facilitate the communication between involved stakeholders – to foster the transfer of knowledge within the EU-28, EFTA and pre-accession

The participants of the 2nd European Youth Conference will have an intense week working on sharing experiences, developing common tools, strategies and instruments. The activities are based on principles and practice of non-formal learning including various activities as Open Space (barcamp), speeches and inputs, exercises, roundtabels etc. followed by concentrated de- briefing. Our approach is to put the needs of the learners in focus and to be very flexible in the program. Last but not least the project wants to connect the involved partner by finding synergy-effects and to develop a KA-2 under Erasmus+.
