The project with the title 'Volunteers wear PRADA (PR. A.ctivism D.evelopment Achievement) -Fashion trends in international youth and volunteer movement' will gather 33 activists from 14 youth and voluntary organizations from all over Europe for an international training course that will take place in Ukraine in March 2011. On one hand, the project will address the more 'traditional' but highly important topics in the international youth and volunteer sector, such as organizational capacity, networking and partnership. On the crther hand, it addresses new topics such as the use of internet to promote volunteerism, and methods to bring sustainable lifestyles into international youth and volunteer projects. The combination of these topics, as well as the structure of the training project that works with parallel sessions, make the project fashionable, creative and innovative. The methods that will be used during the training contribute to informal and non-formal learning, social and personal development of the participants and to an increase of their intercultural competencies. The structure of the project includes workshops and activities that will be run parallelly and therefore allow for active involvement of participants. The project aims at: increasing skills and competencies of participants, improvement of international communication and cooperation, development of educational materials regarding sustairiability issues, and the development of guidelines and proposals to promote volunteering and international youth work on-line. Finally, the project aims to bring forward new ideas for international projects and activities that fall within the framework of the Youth in Action programme.
