The methods used during the activities will be non-formal such as: role play, energizing games, video screenings, circle practice, open space, world café, photovoice, living library, team building, learning to play and playing to learn, synergy etc. As a result we anticipate a growth in the non-formal skills and competences of 26 youth workers from 12 countries, promoting non-formal education methods experienced during the training course by designing and editing an electronic booklet.
