BOOKLET

(MOJU YOU(th)NIVERSITY) (Olh達o & 16-21 March 2015) 1

1. General information a. Context of the course The training course was implemented as one of the 2 major events of the "MOJU YOU(th)NIVERSITY". The MOJU YOU(th)NIVERSITY was developed as a space for debate, networking, training as part of the MOJU YOU(th)NIVERSITY included:  “YesWeFacilitate!” - Training for facilitators on youth events for young people with fewer opportunities  “YesWeOrganize!" - Training on project cycle management of inclusive youth exchanges under the E+ Programme. This very unique opportunity of working on 2 topics in parallel that are both linked to developing quality learning programmes in youth work. There were especially designed spaces for interaction and cooperation as both training courses focused on building competences of multipliers of future events either as organizer or as a facilitator. Therefore the event had several joint programme elements as well as joint opportunities for socialization, interaction and learning together.

b. Aim The main aim of these training courses is to develop participants' competences to work and to act within intercultural environment, specifically on themes like facilitation and project cycle management (PCM) through non formal education. It has also as objective to provide quality trainings for the participants in certain areas of the youth work. Thus, to reach better quality of activities for young people with fewer opportunities organized under the new EU Programme 2014-2020 Erasmus+.

e. Methodology used Yes We Organize! The methodology used for the training was following the overall principles of non-formal learning. The training and learning flow was particularly designed to address the learning needs that the participants expressed in their application forms. In addition the trainers team incorporated the entire Project cycle management flow into the training course pedagogical flow. We have particularly paid attention to keep all programme elements envisioned with the Erasmus+ project proposal and to adjust them to fit with the needs of the participants and the context of the training course. The training course offered a very diverse didactic approach â&#x20AC;&#x201C; from inputs, to artistic and suggestive discussions but all of them offered a lot of opportunities for reflection and group work, which was noted from the participants. It was important to offer opportunities for practical work of the participants as much as possible as this provided them with experience and ensured more lasting learning outcomes. In order to make best use of the variety of knowledge, experience and cultural backgrounds, it was decided to provide space to work and learn from each other while developing a project focused on social inclusion. The best way to address this was to ensure that participants go through a project-cycle management process by building their own projects within this process. Using this approach offered a unique opportunity for not only theoretical and practical learning about Project development, but also to understand the complexity of intercultural learning and the added value and effect when projects are developed together in intercultural group.

Yes We Facilitate! The methodologies used varied throughout the week. The intention of the training team was to use as diverse a variety of methods as possible in order to not only meet the broad spectrum of learning needs of the group but also to inspire the participants to think more broadly for the development of their competences as future facilitators. In this sense, the trainer’s team tried as much as possible to show examples on how the methods were applied with the group by given explanations about the strong and weak points of the method we just used. The trainers focused strongly on the process of the group by having a daily reflection at the end of the day’s sessions. With a direct feedback from participants about their expectations towards their personal and group learning, we manage to change important elements of our strategy. After the first day of the TC, where we used some game names, ice-breakers, sharing about fears and expectations and group building, the trainer’s strategy for the next days was to uses the “Experiential Learning” approach, were participants had practice, reflect and apply facilitation skills in small practical exercises. With Brainstorming and discussions both in working groups and in plenary With strong feedback on what were the aspects of participant’s performances, concerning facilitation competences, participants were quite motivated and engaged to improve their competences. To increase participant’s knowledge concerning important elements of facilitation thematic, strong inputs were presented with a variety of visuals methods. Due to the theatre and performance experience from 2 of the trainers, Simulations and role plays were quite used by the trainer’s team in different session (practical and theoretical inputs). Case study method was also used in the Conflict transformation session, where participants had to think about solutions to a specific conflict case presented by the trainers.

2. Trainers evaluation a. Preparation for the training courses Yes We Organize! Within the preparation process, the trainers met several times on Skype. The first meeting was together with MOJU staff (Joao) who provided us with the background of the project, objectives and the draft programme. The guidance from MOJU on the first meeting was very much important especially to know if and how much we can modify the pedagogical objectives and the programme elements. Also starting from this meeting the trainers had the support from the hosting organization to design a suitable process and to have the needed materials and conditions to implement this process fully. Within the upcoming meetings the trainers agreed on the objectives and the draft programme and started working on preparing the sessions individually. The final agreement was that on the physical preparation meeting we would compile the final session outlines and distribute the tasks among each other. The trainers also provided some homework for the participants to prepare before the course, and this was included in the participation pack. The team furthermore had a look at the applications forms of the participants in order to assess the needs and expectations and to fit these within the sessions. The team met physically for a preparation meeting in Olhao earlier on the arrival day. As the time was short the team had to prepare and finalize sessions along the way during the training, which was not so good as trainers often had to disappear in the evening. Still due to the good group atmosphere all the tasks were done without any major stress or tension, and as a trainers team we always made sure that at least one person is present with the group if they do socialize or that we work in the trainers room during coffee breaks. Overall the training was a success not because of the preparation process only, but also because of the very quick team building among the trainers and hosting organization, which ensured that we positively contribute to the process, share the best we can and support each other. In such working environment a lot of creative tools were developed which engaged the entire group into learning.

Yes We Facilitate! The preparation of the course started with initial Skype meeting on the 11th of February where all the tasks within the trainers group were defined and divided. The task for session design were fairly divided among the trainers and we considered that Junior trainer also had a chance to design as much sessions as she felt comfortable to develop and lead them, with the assistance and support by the seniors. It was also our need to discuss and clarify within the team which perspective we should tackle concerning the facilitation competences and how to implement it. The following Skype meetings were used to share and analyse the sessionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s progress in order to improve the content and compare methodologies. The overall objectives of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;YesWeFacilitateâ&#x20AC;? program were redefined and additional input towards program design and time management day-by-day was identified together with the materials list. During the entire process of course preparation, collaboration among the trainers was at the highest level and even though there were difficulties to arrange a proper time for Skype meetings that would suit everyone, this issue was successfully solved by collaboration offline and additional email communication. Skype meeting between 1 trainer from each training course was very important and useful to define the strategies and activities to be developed during joint moments of the MOJU YOU(th)NIVERSITY. This meeting between the trainers of the 2 teams was also very helpful to clarify the flow of the 2 Training Courses that were happening simultaneously. The fact that 1 trainer was from the same region of the organization, contributed to improve the communication between trainers and the organization. With a few phone calls, we were able to clarify some logistical issues concerning the 2 activities. All the session outlines were completed and sent to project coordinator by the 6th of March.

b. Implementation Yes We Organize! The implementation of the training course can be divided into thematic sections to better get the overview on the different aspects how the pedagogical objectives were reached: 1. Group building and intercultural learning At the beginning of the training we made the programme focused on establishing a group dynamics, which is needed for teamwork and for giving and receiving feedback in a safe space. The getting to know each other included several name games, sharing different realities and a very thematically appropriate team building. For the team building we used an activity requiring participants to support each other doing tasks blindfolded as well as working all together for the same goal. This helped a lot in building a group feeling, but also from the debriefing we managed to link it to the topic of social inclusion. The groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cultural background and diverse experience was very much a unique opportunity to use. In this regards we tried as a team of trainers to ensure that participants can work together and support each other as much as possible. For quite a lot of the participants this was a very intensive experience â&#x20AC;&#x201C; especially the part when by working together they were confronting each-others views by looking at a way to further develop their project ideas. At some points as trainers we needed to take a role of mediators and facilitators of the smaller working groups, to ensure that proper reflection is made of the intercultural clashes and that participants are learning from this experience and not closing up. 2. Sessions focused on social inclusion Before the training course focused on producing outcomes, we wanted to take a deeper look into social inclusion, equality and equity. For this purpose we have shared different concepts, theories and practical examples of social inclusion with young people. We have made a reference to the Inclusion strategy of the Erasmus+ programme to make sure that there are links between what participants do as project managers and the policy priorities. Overall, from the inclusion strategy we could more deeply explore the categories of young people with fewer opportunities. In addition we have used concepts developed and presented in the T-kit on Social inclusion by the Youth partnership secretariat, which offers another tool for project managers in their project design.

3. Sessions focused on project development and project cycle management In order to practice the process of project development the trainees in groups will create a sample project. Ideally, the project should contribute to the social inclusion processes in the local communities from where the participants come from. After each section’s presentation, the participants will work on creating the corresponding section for their sample project. In addition we put accent on specific issues such as clear needs assessment and setting up project goals / objectives based on the local needs. Also a specific accent was made on the project outcome, its outputs and the local impact. It was important that the participant understand that Erasmus+ mobilities should create a local impact, which lasts longer then the mobility itself, so a special attention was made on dissemination of results and outputs as well as sustainability of the outcomes.

Yes We Facilitate! All the materials were provided one day before the event started. Trainers visited the working facilities and prepared working and trainer’s room for the following working days. During the training course sessions were slightly reshaped day-by-day, according to the group dynamics, logistical issues and effective time management. The main tool used for adjusting the further sessions was identification of participant’s fears, expectations and contributions on the first working day. Moreover, the tasks of trainers were divided in such way that during each session at least one of the trainers was observer, taking notes on group dynamics process. Day 4 was used for midterm evaluation where the participants were asked to compare their fears and expectations identified on day 1, reflect on it as the time went by and put it on the midterm evaluation graph that was previously prepared. The graph comprised of x and y axis where “x” represented time with 4 dots (day 1, day2, day3, day4) and “y” fears and expectations changes up to day 4. The graph showed that fears were mostly declining while expectations were met more and more by each day. Trainers used the midterm evaluation graph to pinpoint and fulfill the needs of participants for the final 2 days which were used mostly for facilitation practice. Daily meetings in the trainer’s room were very productive and team spirit was on the highest level. By the end of each working day, sessions were reevaluated and additional meetings were conducted by sharing further inputs, especially on a junior/senior trainer relation. Communication between trainers and organizers was ongoing during each working day and furthermore, meetings regarding the logistics and other organizational issues were done on a daily basis with the project coordinator. It is worth to remind that two training courses were run in parallel. Some joint sessions were conducted in order to integrate all group strength to create more opportunities for cooperation. It was also through the joint sessions that participants had the opportunity to

experience the strong intercultural dimension of this event, with the organizational market and the intercultural evening, where everyone embraced the cultural diversity presented by participants. The last two days were also used for additional meetings with the other trainers group from the “YesWeOrganize” part of the project. The proposal from MOJU organization was to find a common understanding of cooperation in organising the last joint session. The basic idea was to create a simulation where organiser’s participants had to interact with facilitator’s participants in order to develop a project together. Organisers had the task to organise a project design by themselves and facilitators had to design and implement a session for the organisers. The communication between two training teams was excellent and joint sessions between “YesWeFacilitate” and “YesWeOrganize” participants were successfully conducted. This strategy was very important to feed the reflection of how organisers and facilitators must work together in cooperation in order to achieve an successful project in the frame work of Erasmus+ program with youngsters with fewer opportunities. Overall, all the sessions were successfully presented and training course objectives were fulfilled.

Yes We Organize! The training course had the following innovative aspects, which are worth mentioning and replicating in similar learning/training contexts: •

Practical work in smaller groups for a longer duration of time - In order to build practical skills and intercultural teamwork competences, the participants worked in smaller teams for more than half of the training course. Working in the same team for a longer period of time gives a special opportunity for deeper intercultural awareness which leads to clashes in work styles, making compromises and defining the best possible solution together.

•

Individual coaching - Due to the diversity in the group there was a need that the trainers take time to individually coach participants into specific areas where they wanted to get more information. In this context the individual coaching did not influence a lot the group work as it was open to everyone but only few people asked for it.

•

Interaction with the “facilitators” and joint programme elements - Probably the most innovative and unique aspect of the training course was the interaction with the other training course group of facilitators. For this purpose the participants were asked to design a call for facilitators, which was sent to the other group and then several meetings were simulated between the 2 groups. At the last day, the facilitators had a chance to perform their tasks and the organizers could participate and give their feedback as

project managers. In this way, the reality was brought into the training room and offered a very unique interaction between the managers and the experts in facilitation. •

3. Participants evaluation Yes We Organize! The final evaluation of “Yes we organize” training course is based on the online evaluation form filled by the participants and the feedbacks received during the reflection group discussions. Content and educational values. Generally the majority of the participants are satisfied with the content of the training course, numerically from total 17 participants 11 are very satisfied and 5 are partially satisfied next to 1 person who was neither satisfied nor dissatisfied. During the TC most of the participants showed interest to the topic and felt comfortable to ask questions to the trainers also in spare time. Most of the participants appreciated the educational value of the TC. This is due to the fact that the participants had the choice to choose which TC (“Yes we organize” or “Yes we facilitate”) is more valuable for their educational needs. The working activities and methodologies. During the design of working activities and methodologies the trainers took into consideration the age, background and geographical diversity of the participants. According to the Online evaluation form about 65 percent of responders (11 participants) assured that they are very satisfied with the working activities proposed by trainers and organizers. The rest of responders (7 participants) were partially satisfied with the working activities. The situation is a bit different positively with the methodologies used during the training course. Around 82 percent strongly approved the methodology of the training course, in addition to 1 person who is partially satisfied and another participant who was neutral towards the methodologies. The participants consider useful also the part with expectations, Fears and contribution to the TC. Among 17 answers, all were either very positive, or positive, three participants showed their opinion as neutral. During the TC much attention was paid to the group building activities, taking into account the fact that the high number of participants and the diversity of the geography and the background of the target group. Participants showed positive feedback towards the appropriateness of the group building that can be transferred in numbers as “12 strongly agree” and “5 agree”.

The program of the training. All participants agreed that the TC was well structured. They also agreed that the TC was interesting and easy to follow. Nearly the same result exists towards the question whether the length of the TC was appropriate. During the discussions about the feedback from the daily reflection groups, the trainers took into consideration the requests and proposals of the participants in order to meet the participants needs and shorten or lengthen particular sessions to make the learning process easier. Attached graph shows the participants evaluation about the usefulness of the program sessions about project creation and implementation.

Taking into account the overall evaluation of 17 participants we see that around 70 percent of the answers confirm strongly that the sessions were useful. In addition to this, about 29 percent of the responses gave answer “Agree”. The active participation of the responders proved those statistics. Among the answers there is one choice doubting the usefulness of the session “Activities indicators; results and Monitoring”(answered “Neutral”), only three responses were negative (answered “disagree”). Majority of the group noted that the most useful part of the TC was the Project cycle management. “The most useful topics of the training that I found most useful for my future personal development and career is the PCM that will help me to plan a project correct” was a comment from the participant of the TC. The result showed the high interest among the participants towards the program. “…the part in which I participated the most was setting aims and objectives to our project with the help of my group that was about discrimination against women” was another comment from the responders. All participants gave positive feedback about introduction to Social inclusion. The event also included a Session about inclusion in international Youth Projects. According to the survey, the participants evaluated positive the learning outcomes they had after the session. The participants evaluated well also the study visit to MOJU NGO. The responders were satisfied also with the intro to the training course and Erasmus+. According to the comments made by some of the participants, the general idea of training course and Erasmus + were clearly explained and all the questions were answered. The presentation of the Youthpass was clear to 10 participants, 7 responders expressed neutral opinion.

Joint activities with “Yes we facilitate” TC. The participants replied positive about the joint sessions with “Yes we facilitate” TC. Although 12 responders gave very positive or positive feedback, around 30 percent (5 people) were neutral or partially dissatisfied. It can be explained because of different group dynamics and different agendas between the two training courses that sometimes lead to miscommunication between the activities and sometimes raises organizational difficulties. On the same time the large number of the participants led to difficulties in some other activities. For example difficulties appeared while organizing the Organizational Market. Though a bit more than half of the survey group considered the market useful, 6 people had neutral opinion and one person “strongly disagrees” that the market was useful for the TC. As one of the participants noted in the comments, “Training with 50 participants should include more time”. Active participation. The responders actively participated in the training course, they were open for new ideas and gave own proposals. Though the participants cover wide range of countries, with the help of group building games a solid group was created ready to cooperate together. During the first 2 days of the project sometimes risk appeared for one participant to become passive in TC because of the language barrier. Additional steps were taken by the trainers to give more time and space for him to be included in activities. “My active involvement started at the stage of preparing "Organizational Market" with our big team. But the most intense part for me was creating concept of "future inclusive projects" in mini-teams”, was one of the comments of the responder of the Survey. “I was actively participating, as it was very important for me to have the opportunity to work with people from different countries” was the reply from one of the participants of TC. The participants replied positively to the questions about the Intercultural learning. All of them felt glad to meet people from various countries and discover their culture and cuisine. “That was one of the main beauty of this project. I have never been in such unique and diverse cultural atmosphere before.”, “we share our experiences and enlarge our horizons” were among the comments done by responders. Additional graph was made to show the evaluation of participants about the logistics and support of the program.

All participants gave positive answers to organizers team and technical support, accommodation, group atmosphere and interaction with others. 4 people were dissatisfied with the food. The issue was risen to organizers groups, but few can be changed because of the high number of the participants and few opportunities Olhao (The town where TC-s held) could provide on this issue. “Somewhat dissatisfied” answer appeared also in free time activities. Though the participants request to change the free time dates (to meet sunny afternoon for free time), it was impossible to do because of the sequence of the program. Though to partial issues on logistics and support, the overall evaluation is good, as from all answers 85 percent took choice ”very satisfied ” or “Somewhat satisfied”. And only 15 of the choices were neutral or negative (“Neutral”, “somewhat dissatisfied” or “Very dissatisfied”).
