Are you a trainer, youth worker, teacher, educator or expert working in civic education, civic engagement or EU citizenship?

As part of the Youth4Change project, we are inviting professionals working with young people to join one of two interactive Online Training of Trainers (ToT) sessions.

The Training of Trainers aims to equip youth workers, educators and trainers with practical tools, tested methods and participatory learning approaches to facilitate inclusive and engaging civic education activities with young people. Across the two sessions, attention is also given to gender equality, inclusivity and sustainability as important considerations in civic education and youth work.

The ToT offers two standalone online trainings, each focusing on a different aspect of civic education and youth participation. Choose the training that best matches your interests, professional practice, and availability and join us!
