  2. Step by Step to great Rapport
  3. Sensory Acquity, Mind-reading for beginners
  4. Building the Picture, Setting the Outcomes
  5. Tools and techniques - 1
  6. Tools and techniques - 2

The Second Part of the Mobility
Participants will transfer their learning into (digital) learning activities for the people they work with and participate in a youth work market with local youth work organisations.

LifeComp competence framework
To support recognition of non-formal learning and to support the development of the “Personal, Social and Learning to Learn” skills within youth work we make in this training an connection between the learning happening during the training and the LifeComp Competence Framework.

Spcifically will be worked on the following skill zones: flexibility, growth mindset, critical thinking, collaboration, self-regulation, communication, empathy, well-being and managing learning.

Open Badges
