​Project description

“European Summer School of Animators” is a beginner’s level training course, aimed at young workers and animators. The training course will take place in Lviv, Ukraine.
Due to the Corona crisis, we had to postpone the 2020 edition. The new dates are from the 19th to the 25th of July 2021.

Objectives

The main aim of the activity is to make young animators familiar with the new options that the developing society brings for youth work. Change is the only constant we can count on. This will be the starting point of the project and through many different activities the participants will find ways to handle the changing reality.

1. Introduction to the educational style and methods of Don Bosco
2. Reflecting and reacting on changes within the reality of youth work
3. Strengthen participants’ general skills within youth work
4. Learning new techniques and exchange of good practices within youth work
5. Intercultural exchange to give participants the chance to become more confident and open-minded in international environments
6. Intercultural exchange to give participants the chance to learn new games and approaches for their local youth work organisations
