Training Series: SKAB’ing M³ - Macro Meso Micro

The programme is focusing on the European Training Strategy as follows:

a.    Your organisation, its role and position in the youth field (Macro), with an emphasis on how it can contribute to and benefit from systemic change across the sector;
b.    Your organisation as a whole, with its internal dynamics, awareness, strategies, processes, and procedures (Meso), focusing on developing a culture of continuous learning and adaptation;
c.    The individuals of your organisation, like paid staff and volunteers (Micro), and their role in driving systemic change and contributing to the organisation’s evolution into a learning organisation.

This is an invitation for organisations and people regularly involved in organisations -  legal representatives, project managers, project coordinators, trainers, youth workers and volunteers - to apply for the SKAB’ing M³ module and to embark on a journey focused on competence development and capacity building and systemic change for organisations through the lenses of the ETS (European Training Strategy), with the following format:

We are aware of the difficult financial situation of many people active in the field. Nevertheless, we see the offered events as a unique opportunity for personal learning, professional development & networking which should be, beyond the received funding by European taxpayers not “for free”. Further, as a place of civic education, focusing as well on topics as (global) social justice, we decided to disrupt the vicious system of underpayment of people active in the field of (international) youth work & education, dedicating their lifetime & energy by offering fair payment for their work, e.g. as free-lance trainers, seminar leaders or support staff. Therefore, a financial contribution from each participant is required upon individual situation & decision (per event):

• You are a pupil, student, unemployed person or a volunteer (reduced fee): 50,00 EUR
• You are freelanced youth worker / trainer (standard fee): 75,00 EUR
• You are a person in job/employment (solidarity fee): 100,00 EUR

In case you are not able to afford the fee, please contact us for individual solutions.

We will reimburse the travel costs on the basis of the cheapest possibilities, e.g. second class railway tickets, economy class flights etc., within the provided limit, from place of residency to the venue of the activity and return, based on the rates of the “distance calculator” of the European Commission erasmus-plus.ec.europa.eu/de/node/2626 and related regulations as follows:

• 10-99 km: 28,00 EUR
• 100-499 km: 211,00 EUR
