DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT:
“Vitamin C booster” is the idea of a series of training for youth/social workers, devoted to the most important and crucial skills (key competences) of the XXI century, which are Critical thinking, Creativity, Communication and Collaboration, and exploring their applicability in youth/social work and community development in general. This time, we invite you to explore the topic of Communication, aiming to develop it, to improve our communication skills, to reveal the idea and principles of constructive communication, to link it with efficient conflict management and, in this way, to contribute to its awareness raise, community development and peace building.
For 7 days, 36 youth workers will deeply dive into the topic, playing, discovering and assimilating our working methods suitable for small and large groups. The goal of this activity is to provide you with an understanding of the significance of constructive communication and its importance in conflict management and peace building processes, to develop your communication skills (both verbal and non-verbal), to explore the efficient conflict management strategies and principles, to equip you with relevant methods and tools and to create the new ones all together. The learning by doing approach ensures many interactive activities, mostly role-plays, simulations, performances and other theatrical techniques. We will have long debrief sessions on all the elements of each method, ensuring a detailed understanding for all participants.
