Summary The “SOUP” is a 5 day training course for professional youth workers and social workers. The training will provide the possibility to share knowledge and experiences on the sensitivity of the topic Youth work. At the same time being able to address your weakness and turning them into strong points can be crucial moments in approaching the youth with fewer opportunities. Participants will be provided a change to reflects on beliefs, values and aims through dispassionate achievement of skills and knowledge. The aim of the training is to ensure the awareness of the complexity of the problems youth with fewer opportunities are facing as well to ensure the inclusion of them in social life using non-formal learning methods. During the 5 days participants will cover such topics as the theory and practice of evaluations and observations, game playing, theory of youth work, adapting evaluations and observations as tools for non-formal learning for different target groups.

Objectives: 1. To allow the participants to share their experiences and develop their knowledge on the sensitivity of the topic Youth work. 2. To improve the working methods of participants, and develop the quality of non formal educational activities for professional youth workers and social workers. 3. To strengthen the awareness of the complexity of the problems youth with fewer opportunities are facing as well to ensure the inclusion of them in social life using non-formal learning methods.

Candidates: The perfect candidate is someone who works in a professional environment such as a youth centre, youth club or city council and works directly with young people to facilitate their personal, social, and educational development than they fit in the profile to participate. Unlike other volunteers or workers, those who work unregulated in a youth centre of guide groups in a youth activity are consider as part-time volunteers, and many do not receive the benefits or earnings a salary or being associated with a full-time job. Another characteristic of youth workers is that they enter the profession through a number of different paths (education on university level) and, thus, have backgrounds in a range of fields, including social work, education, public health, and community education. Some youth workers enter the profession without any formal education and training and gain knowledge and skills on the job. Though part time education many newcomers in the field of youth work regard working and study as a “stepping stone” or supplemental job opportunity. Therefore this training is addressed to professional youth workers and social workers, who are 30+
