Training Courses

The Youth in Action programme runs training courses throughout the year for youth workers and young people for the preparation and impletion of projects.

Many training courses will be specific to an "Action" i.e. the BTM training course for youth workers new to international exchanges (Action 1.1) however we also run training courses for youth workers interested in a specific theme i.e. working with young people from culturally diverse backgrounds.

You will find links below for training courses relating specifically  to Action 1 - 5 of the Youth in Action programme.

European Training Calendar

Everything at a glance: training within the Youth in Action Programme and beyond!

In the European Training Calendar www.salto-youth.net/training you will find current offers in the field of training for disseminators, group leaders, mentors and other specialists as well as young people being active in international youth work. The offers are open and invite you to apply for participation.

The European Training Calendar no longer works as a one-way street, from which you gather information about international training courses published by the National Agencies and the National Co-ordinators of the Youth in Action Programme. The calender can also be used by project promotors to present your own training offers and have the possibility to let interested people share in your conception of international youth work.

For further information, questions and comments, please consult the European Training Calendar Help page or email training@salto-youth.net
