The Camp The 5th Training Camp of EYP - Ukraine will be held in the seashore city Odesa, between the 12th and the 15th of August, 2021. It will gather around 70 participants from Germany. Russia, Belarus, Geargia, Armian and Azerbaijan. The project seeks to develop the soft skills of European youth by organising a platform for intercultural dialogue and sharing diverse ideas and practices among young people during 4day training courses and evening activities. It is a combination of informal education in diverse teams and cultural activities with sincere talks along the seashore.

Training Camp is a non-formal education platform for future participants of EYP events. It will prepare them to effectively perform at future EYP events as an official: organiser, academic or media team member. The main training course encompasses 4 different fields: Project Management, Team Management, Media and Photography and NGO Management. Each participant (trainee) will have a chance to choose one of the tracks to focus on. Additionally, they will also be able to visit other tracks if they wish, therefore getting a broader perspective and knowledge from different areas. Participants of the 5th Training Camp will also be able to develop their soft skills and learn more about active participation in decision-making within their local communities.

Apart from the main training course, the 5th Training Camp will compromise different evening non-formal activities. With participants arriving from different countries, social and economic backgrounds, we hope that the evening events will help participants improve their cultural sensitivity and prepare them to work in a diverse environment.
