TRAINING COURSE ON THE MANAGEMENT OF TRANS-NATIONAL VOLUNTARY PROJECTS Date: 27 February - 5 March 2000 Place: European Youth Centre, Budapest Deadline (internal): 30 November 1999 Aims of the course: Trans-national voluntary service is one of the tools with which we can elaborate a just European society. It combines a new kind of intercultural learning experience, encouraging active social and occupational integration, with giving a helping hand to the development of local communities. Therefore, this course intends to enable those actively involved in trans-national voluntary projects to improve the quality and the intercultural dimension of these projects. Contents of the course: The course will be based on the current practices of the participants, which serve as a basis for analysis and reflections to overcome obstacles and to improve their TNV programmes in the future. This will include exchange of good practice and troubleshooting concerning the management of the different stages of the TNV project, such as pre-departure training, support structures, intercultural learning, follow up, legal and administrative issues, etc. in order to develop the quality of the TNV projects. Particular attention will be given to crisis management within the TNV project. Methodology: An experienced prepatory team will establish programme elements that will form the backbone of this training course. The whole course is, however, percieved as a mutual learning situation based on participants' experience in youth work. Great emphasis will be placed on working from and extending this experience. Active participation, group and team work, and learning-by-doing form the basis of this course. Languages: French and English are foreseen as the working languages of the course.
