Erasmus+ Training Course "Leaders of Change" in Hungary (Fully Funded)

Are you interested about youth activities? Are you interested to be a youth leader? Are you interested about leadership? if yes, then this opportunity for you. Open call for 30 Participants to attend Erasmus+ Training Course " Leaders of Changer" in Hollókő, Hungary. The training is coordinated by INEX-SDA and hosted by: Egyesek Youth Association, co-funded by INEX-SDA´s accreditation from the European Union through the Erasmus + Programme.

About the project

Leaders of Change is an 8 days training course to reflect the role of leadership and explore participants’ own attitudes, approach and inner motivation. The training is designed for those already leading either groups or volunteers, who want to improve their performance, based upon the principles of self-awareness, resourcefulness, and accountability. The main methodology used will be personal development and self-reflection, which means that we will be focusing mainly on your mindset/attitudes rather than providing you practical skills or models.

The is divided into 3 main parts:

Day 1 to 4: Self Reflection

During these days the participants will have the opportunity to get a better and deeper understanding of how and why they lead people and how this affects the results they obtain, and they can maintain what works and improve what doesn’t. The participants will have the opportunity to look into the relationship between beliefs, concepts, automatic behaviours, teamwork and decision making. They will do so through input, activities and reflection spaces. 

Day 4 to 7: Submersion Real life implementation

The best way to transform theory into knowledge is to practice in a real-life situation or context. Participants will have several assignments to complete in the local communities around the venue where they can put into practice the knowledge, skills and attitudes acquired throughout the previous days of the training course.

Day 7 to 8 Final Steps

These last 2 days are there to wrap up the learning experience of the TC, in such a way that the insights can be taken home in a structured manner, to plan follow-up steps and close the training course together.
