Local community. Autumn in Czech. Event management. The key words for the training course which will be implemented in Czech Republic between 31.8 – 5.9.2016 in the village of Dolní Bečva. The component of cultural life in the villages is really imporant, the events or permanent projects can help us with social support, the be impacted on individuals and families. The project team which is going to implement this project met in the reality lack of knowledge and competences to organize the events. People in villages have ideas, they want to do something. But how? We will open them the secrets of event management during the autumn. Events can be different such as sport event, board games tournament, handmade market, coffee market, local cake competitions, cleanin forests, the music festifals. Community events can help us to reduce individual and family isolation, it can empower the neighbour relationships and make the are where they are living more attractive and known. The two experienced trainers will train youth workers coming from different countries in the field of event management in the rural areas. The trainers have rich experience, one of them is coming from Greece and another one from Romania. They will use the non formal methods of education and they will train people with understanding the concept of volunteering in local community. The youth workers will know how to plan their events from the beginning, how to implement it, how to evaluate their projects, how to lead their team. They will learn how to make the budget, how to calculate their costs and what is the fundraising aiming to use this tool in the future. One of the outcome of the project is to create the website (happycommunity.eu) where everybody who would like to be inspired or share her/his inspiration can post ideas for the events, permanent projects aiming to support the cultural life, sport life, the rural development and the whole environment in the countryside. The website will be in English, it will be a space where people can share ideas of events, ideas what to do in rural areas and how to improve the countryside. We expect that visitors can be the people who would like to be active and do something in their community but it can be also inspiration for the mayors of villages We expect a huge impact on participants, trainers, hosting organization, people from rural communities where the events will take placeYouth workers will know how to plan their dream events/permanent project step by step!
