This is a provisional example of the program of the week. 

This will be updated in detail at a later stage. 

To give you some general ideas about the program, we have identified the following:

Understanding and Facilitating Group Dynamics:

• You'll learn how to recognize and facilitate group processes, what's happening beneath the surface, and how to consciously use group dynamics to enhance learning, participation, and inclusion.

Emotional Awareness & Self-Care

• We'll delve into emotional intelligence and self-awareness. You'll explore strategies for emotional grounding, self-management, and self-care—essential skills for sustainable youth work.

Learning from Each Other

• You'll share experiences, challenges, and ideas with youth workers from different countries and organizations, and reflect on how emotional awareness and supportive group dynamics fits within your own work context.

Learning by Doing

• Through experiential, group-based methods and exercises around group dynamics & emotional awareness, you'll be introduced to tools that you can later directly apply to your own context.

Genuine Connection & Friendships

• We emphasize the importance of face-to-face contact, genuine friendships, and community. The activities and workshops will help you experience how you can create and support this among young people in an increasingly digital world.

The obligatory program is always until dinner. All activities after dinner will be almost always optional. You are of course very much welcomed to participate, but if you would rather load your (social) batteries in different ways, this is completely accepted. 

During the program, we try to take into account your time and space in Belgium. Therefor we offer also a free afternoon & evening in the program. More detailed updates will come later. Should the info here not be suffice for you to know exactly if this training course is supportive for your learning, feel free to email to internationaal@joetz.be to ask your questions, we will provide answers with maximum care for your learning goals.
