Non-formal education has rising impact on young people all across Europe. European Union is supporting different forms of non-formal education, and includes it in its policies and structures. At the same time, this sector is not fully regulated, and formal approaches to professionalization of education and development of non-formal education staff are uncommon and limited. How to become a trainer? Who issues the certificate? What is the difference between junior and senior trainer? How to guarantee quality of delivered trainer’s work? There are many questions and issues for a debate... Youth organisations involved in this project implement majority of their activities through non-formal education and often face a difficulty to ensure sustainable, systematic and high quality education of their staff. Therefore, this project is developed in order to educate trainers with different levels of experience, provide them with an opportunity of professional development and space to contribute to quality of youth work in Europe. To achieve this goal, we have set the following objectives: - To provide training opportunities for future trainers, trainers with limited experience and trainers with significant experience which will contribute to quality of training delivery in Europe; - To empower involved organisations to implement local and international non-formal education activities and ensure sustainable education of their staff and volunteers; - To contribute to quality of non-formal education projects in Europe, quality of trainers’ work, recognition of non-formal education and create new approaches in non-formal education; - To create network of training providers in Europe and ensure communication and cooperation for exchange of good practices and improvement of quality of their work; - To establish partnership among involved organisation and share examples of cooperation with other organisations in Europe active in the field of youth.
