In May 2013 “MilleniuM” Training and Development Institute will
host the 9 day training course on designing and facilitating non-formal
learning activities entitled "Do it Non-formal!". There will be 24
participants from 6 organizations representing Program countries
(Latvia, Italy, Romania, Estonia, Turkey) and 6 organizations
representing Partner countries from Eastern Partnership countries
(Moldova, Ukraine, Georgia and Belarus).
As the role of non-formal education is becoming increasingly more
important in the life-long learning context of every human being (not
only in the Program countries, but also the Eastern Partnership
countries), it is important that people who are in charge of non-formal
education activities are well aware of how to design and facilitate quality
non-formal education activities.
The main aim of the training is to gather youth workers, youthleaders,
peer-to-peer educators, project managers, volunteers and other
stakeholders working with young people who are interested in
increasing their understanding of non-formal education techniques and
increasing their competencies on how to plan, facilitate, and evaluate the
non-formal learning process during their daily work with youth and
during “Youth in Action” projects.

To ensure the training has a real

impact on participants, it will include

a wide spectrum of methods and

approaches.

Considering the different

learning styles of people, we will

make sure that the methods chosen

provide a good balance of

opportunities for different people and

are as interactive/involving as

possible.

The project includes 24 youth workers and young specialists from
Program countries (Latvia, Italy, Romania, Estonia, Turkey) and EECA
countries (Republic of Moldova, , Georgia, Ukraine and Belarus) - 2
participants from each organization.

proof of non availability of flights for the two consecutive days after the
