Description
International training course about evaluation methods in non formal education for youth leaders and youth workers, from 19 NGO for youth, from 16 countries.
25 June-03 July 2013
The evaluation of a project, is an action or an activity of non formal education with the young constitutes, a working tool which serves the purpose of laying plans as well as improving our competences and the quality of the project`s activities addressed to the young people.
Moreover, the evaluation process ought to be regarded as a strategic device integrated into the broader process conducive to social change, since its principal advantage (or: virtue) lies in its capacity to help us carry out things in a better way than before.
In this context Solidarity Tracks organized a training course where 30 youth workers and young people active in non-formal education programs gathered at Lefkas (Greece) for 8 days in order to exchange ideas & methods for evaluation and exploitation of the results of evaluation sessions as well as to develop new competences on:
a) various forms of evaluation
b) the methodology of evaluation
c) how to choose the proper evaluating method in function of our particular activities and
d) the ways to exploit the results of evaluation sessions within the frame of the informal education, mainly of the “Youth in Action” program.
In this training course, we created an innovative educative tool concerning the various methods for the evaluation of the non-formal activities addressed to young people. At the end, we were inspired by the practical experiences of our partners as well as by the previous research, the publications & the initiatives launched in the past.
