Welcome to the Distance Education Course

The course was compiled as part of the Inno4impact Project that aims to increase the quality, attractiveness and effectiveness of working with young people through digital tools and programmes.
We have developed this course for you, having in mind that each learner continues their learning process in different spaces, at different times and at different paces. This online learning environment is open to youth workers or all actors working with disadvantaged people who want to get approaches in the context of youth work.

Methodology:

The course materials presented here refer to the latest research findings of country situations and in particular to skills identified for youth workers. The course toolkit was developed also based on the needs of young people identified in our Comparative Report , conducted as part of this project in each partner country (Austria, Italy, Germany, Spain and Turkey).

Course Objectives:

  • To discover what a competence-based approach is and its applicability in the context of youth work.
  • To introduce the ETS competence model for youth workers working internationally and to link it to your personal youth work practice.
  • To explore competence self-assessment tools.
  • To discover ways and tools for professional development.

The course is divided into 5 modules consisting theoretical and practical parts. You can start from any module you want. There is quiz section at the end of each module that you are asked to implement it.
