We Facilitate training course was a path for the participants to explore self awareness and empathy towards others and discover techniques that can be used in youthwork practices. It was – to improve professional skills of coaches,mentors, facilitators and trainers, working directly with young people and youth.– to improve interpersonal,entrepreneurial and participation competences of young people and youth workers – to inspire the creationof new international projects among local, grassroot NGOs, working with young people facing challenges.
We had core attention to the ability to listen, understand and manage emotions of the self andothers, in order to release stress, empathize, communicate effectively and manage personal andinterpersonal conflicts. This is a strong base for a good facilitator.
