CALL FOR APPLICATIONS TRAINERS TRAINING FOR EYP TRAINERS 2015 Trainings for EYP Trainers (T4ETs) aim to further develop the training skills of EYP alumni interested in, and willing to contribute to the training scene of the EYP. Training courses contribute to the development of our alumni and ultimately assist the enhancement of their educational experience, and increase the quality of events. We are now looking for interested trainers for the next T4ET! The course will take place in Nieuwpoort, at the Belgian seaside (1, 5h ride from Bruxelles) from the 31st July - 7th August 2015. The event is hosted by EYP-Europolis Belgium and organised by Janne Vanhemmens, with the support of the Training and Alumni Development Council and the EYP International Office. The training will last 8 days and aim to enable 30 participants from all over Europe to competently and confidently plan, run and evaluate a high quality training course. Participants will: (i) Gain profound understanding on how groups work; (ii) Learn advanced group leading techniques (chairing/facilitation); (iii) Practice strategic use of teambuilding exercises; (iv) Explore how to enable personal growth in one’s team; (v) Creatively approach new and existing methods; (vi) Practice their leadership, training and chairing competences through self-reflection and feed -back from experienced co-participants and trainers. Trainers will be involved in all steps of the content preparation. They will be supported throughout the preparations by Maria Manolescu (Senor Trainer). Trainers will be required to arrive at the venue one or two days before the start of the event. Their travel to the course will be at least partially reimbursed. If possible, the trainers’ team will aim to meet for a preparatory meeting. The trainers’ team will be composed of 4 trainers, including at least one external trainer (not from EYP). We invite all EYPers with training experience to apply to join the event as a trainer. Participation in a previous T4ET is an advantage, but not a must. Experience in previous long residential trainings is required for the trainers’ team coordinator. The selection panel will be formed of Janne Vanhemmens (Head-Organiser), Maria Manolescu (on behalf of the Training and Alumni development Council) and Sophie Hall (GB member). All EYPers who are passionate about and experienced in trainings are invited to apply by filling in the application form and emailing it at trainings@eyp.org by May 7th at 23h59 CET. For any questions, please contact Maria Manolescu.
