Profile of the participants

We consider that the project will serve at its best when the participants (youth workers, trainers, etc.) will be involved in all stages of the project. During the third stage (Implementation of local outdoor activities), participants will recruit young persons (one per country) among participants of implemented outdoor games and activities or/and most active youngster inside the organisation, who will take part in the Seminar. Which means that one participant of the Training Course would be replaced with a young person during the Seminar.

We are looking for youth/social workers, youth leaders, trainers and educators, who:
• are familiar with outdoor games and activities or motivated to acquire them as an educational method
• eager to transfer gained knowledge to the youth in their organizations and countries
• ready to engage themselves in different local and international projects using outdoor activities as a learning method
• committed to working during the whole project, meaning also the implementation of outdoor activities in local communities, Seminar, and follow-up activities
• are interested in providing short testimonials on their impression about the project,
• are ready to support development and dissemination of the toolbox of outdoor games and activities supporting the inclusion
• have a good level of English

€40 fee to be paid by each participant (except young persons one per country, that will join the Seminar) on the spot for all stages together. This fee goes as a contribution to the administrative costs of the project.
