“Journey through the Land of Oz" is an innovative Erasmus+ training course for youth workers, trainers and youth leaders promoted by the Italian organisation Cooperativa Sociale Muovimente. The course takes its name from the movie "The Wizard of Oz", which with all its elements and symbology, will be used as a metaphor and red thread throughout the whole course to explore young people's development through competency development. The training is built on experiential learning methods where the participants will deal and explore the concepts of journey, transformation, challenge, change, education, competences and recognition as key elements to work with young people on pathways to the future and routes to employment, discovering the inner qualities that can get them there. The programme involves theoretical inputs and practical workshops, discussions, group processes and individual work, with a substantial part of the programme which will take place outdoors in nature. The project will take place in Sermugnano, in the area of Viterbo, Italy, from the 22nd to the 29th of January 2017 (travel days included). It will involve 28 participants and 5 staff members from 12 different European countries (Italy, Portugal, Romania, Poland, Czech Republic, Spain, UK, the Netherlands, Belgium, Ireland, Hungary and Greece).
