“Change must go on" is a project that contains of 2 mobilities for youth workers: first mobility - training course taking place in Rēzekne region (Latvia) from 11th to 19th September 2016; second mobility - Follow up meeting talking place in Romania from 6th-10th of February, 2017.The project gathers 24 youth workers coming from 8 countries - EU and EECA region (Ukraine, Armenia, Georgia, Moldova, Spain, Romania, Bulgaria, Latvia). The 24 participants attending the training course are youth workers, youth leaders, high school teachers, volunteers that work in the field of youth, volunteer coordinators, mentors or school psychologists.HPPL has conducted several activities and also international projects on the topic of global education and came to the conclusion that youth workers need practical methods that they can use in their work with young people that can generate impact on a local and global level. Therefore, we have created the AIM of the project that will bring together youth workers from Programme and Partner countries to empower them to use the potential of non formal education in developing active global citizenship among young people.The OBJECTIVES of the project are:1. To increase the knowledge regarding active global citizenship, sustainable development goals (SDG), global warming of 24 youth workers coming from 8 countries.2.To develop skills for using Storytelling, Photovoice and Sensory Labyrinth Theatre non-formal methods of education that will enable 24 youth workers coming from partner countries.3.To create a bridge of transferability of both theoretical frame and the methods of non formal education towards the community.4.To increase motivation for becoming educational agents of change of 24 youthworkers coming from 8 countries. During the training course that will take place in Latvia, the participants will follow Kolb’s cycle of experiential learning and will experience activities like Storytelling, Sensorial Labyrinth Theater and Photovoice s methods of non-formal education that will tackle the global education issues. Afterwards they will receive also input in order to better understand the concept of global education, glocalisation and global warming. During their stay in Latvia they will also put in practice the methods and the input received during the training by facilitating Storytelling sessions in schools, creating a Sensorial path of Labyrinth Theatre for youth workers and organizing and creating a Photovoice exhibition in the city center of Rēzekne. The participants attending this project will benefit from a mentoring period in which they will receive support from the project team in order to put in practice what they have experienced and learned during the training course also in their communities. Therefore in this way we will insure the impact of our project and the immediate application of the methods mention above.After the mentoring phase there will also be a Follow-up meeting in Romania, from 6th to 10th of February 2017, in which we will evaluate the work of the youth workers by giving them feedback and we will finalize the common work on the brochure of the project "Global Education through non-formal methods of education" that will be one of the most important result of our work that will be distributed offline and online. The impact of the project is not only focused on the understanding and knowing how the youth workers can use the methods of Storytelling, Sensorial Labyrinth Theatre and Photovoice on the topic of global education when working with young people, but also to experience the methods as such, by means of all senses and to organize and facilitate events and workshops around the global education issues in their own countries and becoming real global active citizens.The longer term benefits will be seen also within the participating organizations and the target groups. Regarding the organizations they will gain trust in what regards preparing the young people for becoming proactive in terms of global issues and regarding the young people, their chances of living in a fairer world will increase.
