Details:
Braveheart is a three phase training course for youth workers. Its aim is to strengthen and advance leadership skills. Braveheart is the second run of the TC, which was first held in 2017. Based on the feedback of our participants and our experience, we improved some parts to be even more suitable for youth workers and their needs. So, you will experience a tuned TC! The training course is based on our long-term experience in training youth, teachers and corporate leaders. We work with the methods of experiential and outdoor learning that we’ve been using since 2006. We put stress on practical training with real effects rather than learning theoretical background. The ratio of practical training to theory is 80:20. We believe the most effective way of learning is by reflecting one’s personal experience. That’s why we focus on group reflections, peer-to-peer feedback and learning from mistakes and success.
