Develop design skeletons for most common training courses (chairs, organisers, journalists training courses, NCMDs) Synergy / Expansion Co-operate with the Academic and Reg Dev Councils based on their soon to be published objectives. Develop at least 5 other types of activities -aside from training courses- that would help Alumni grow further within our organisation and work on their implementation.
Go beyond trainings - rethinking - new ideas
Carry out a needs assesement to ensure that our work responds to an existing need in the EYP community/our target group (April)
ensure feedback from EYPers outside the council/EYP Academy is taken into acount.
Encourage EYPers to join the LT and to become PT/ST. Facilitate communication between trainers and across NCs.

I think it's okay if we don't have someone in charge of all guides, we agreed we'ld see what guides we focus on (what are needed) once the TB app is done.
Assist the Reg Dev Council with the NCMD guide.
Trainers Make list of trainers available to NCs.

Be there for trainers by keeping in touch on their development, responding to their needs and keeping them involved through training offers. Trainings Researching ways of financing training events. Offer individual support to NCs organising trainings. Increase number of training courses funded through the Mercator grant.
Make sure an adequate number of training courses (national and international) are organised each year, and that the whole EYP training subjects spectrum is covered by those training courses; Offer training possibilities both for all levels of experience (both experienced and less experienced). T4ET (included in trainings) Make sure a T4ET is organised this year. Preparations for T4ET 2015 (at least call for host NOC) start as soon as possible after T4ET 2014. A T4ET 2.0 (for more experienced trainers) is organised late 2014 or 2015.
CM, MM, LP Maria CM MM, LKS, AI Improved and increased communication when call is open (materials on why NOCs should organise it, draft sketches of content, individual assistance offered to NCs).
