About the Training course
The Youth Department of the Council of Europe works through strong partnerships with youth organisations and networks.

The course will provide a space for youth leaders serving as facilitators to meet, share experiences, develop their skills in non-formal education and gain a common understanding of youth priorities and approaches.
The aim of the training course is to support organisers of study sessions and EYF-supported activities in implementing quality intercultural non-formal education activities with a multiplying effect building on standards of the Council of Europe youth sector. The course will itself apply the quality standards in non-formal education produced by the Youth Department.
The course will be implemented following three main steps:
1. Exploring non-formal education: facilitation, programme design, evaluation, learning theories and styles.
2. Applying Council of Europe tools and principles including the Manual for Facilitators and the quality standards in non-formal education.
3. Multiplying and sharing lessons learnt and best practices on non-formal education in youth activities.
