The project
The project “Training for Developing Youth Policy Capacities” (TrainYouth), is aiming at creating a network of Youth-Focused Local Authorities that will promote EU’s agenda on Youth Policy, promote youth-focused activities, promote youth participation and engagement. Policy makers and Youth Workers from the participating Local Authorities will be trained on EU’s Youth Strategy, on EU funded Youth Projects, on Youth mobility activities, on young entrepreneurship, on the contest of the European Youth Capital and on other Youth-related resources. In addition Policy Makers and Youth Workers will be trained to develop Transferable Skills so that they become better in delivering their work.
The TRAINYOUTH training course will equip policy makers that are working for the Youth sector and youth workers in general with capacities to engage youth into society and avert radicalization that is a major threat for Europe's fundamental values.
The main issue to be addressed in this project is the lack of knowledge and capacities for policy makers and youth workers in Youth issues. It is frequent that an elected policy maker or a youth worker have not gone through training or are not aware of youth issues before being assigned the "youth worker role". Through this project there will be thorough training on all aspects of Youth Policy, funding for youth activities, youth engagement etc. so that trainees will be able to improve their youth work and youth policy making.
