TRAINING COURSE: Drawn Together: Visual Tools for Youth Work 

 

Drawn Together: Visual Tools for Youth Work is a 7 days long training course for facilitators, trainers, youth workers, and activists who would like to explore new methods for delivering knowledge to the learners, especially those at risk of exclusion. We believe the education can be fun, and we can find many creative ways to make it more effective.

That is why in our training we will focus on understanding what graphic facilitation is and how to find a visual language that in an easy but powerful way will help us make our working materials and presentations more exciting and effective.

  • Drawing basic shapes and simple figures of people and their feelings
  • Writing in different styles
  • Combining different elements to create your special visual language
  • Creating educational materials using your new drawing skills
  • Basic theory of how people learn
  • Adjusting content to the needs of young learners from vulnerable groups
  • Practical information about other visual tools that can be used in youth work (storytelling and participatory photography)

Activity 1.
TRAINING COURSE: Sharing Stories, Building Bridges – Participatory Photography for Youth Workers

 

Sharing Stories, Building Bridges – Participatory Photography for Youth Workers is a 7 days long training course focused on providing the participating youth digital based tools and methods that can be used to support their young beneficiaries, especially young people at risk of exclusion.

The main method we are going to explore is participatory photography – it is a visual method that acknowledges individuals as experts in their own lives. Unlike traditional photography, where subjects are passively portrayed by external photographers, participatory photography empowers individuals to capture and narrate their own stories. This approach shifts the creative control from the photographer to the participants, fostering self-advocacy and providing audiences with a more authentic understanding of diverse lives and needs.

  • How to use digital-based tools and methods to support young people, especially those at risk of exclusion.
  • Participatory photography techniques as a method for youth work.
  • Empowering young people to tell their own stories through photography.
  • Shifting creative control from the photographer to participants.
  • Facilitating self-advocacy and helping young people express their experiences.
  • Building bridges of understanding by offering authentic insights into diverse lives and needs.
  • actively involved in the work of an NGO (preferably as a staff member)
  • experienced in working with youth at risk
  • open to new methodologies and willing to learn how to draw (but no previous skills are required)
  • committed to organize dissemination events and provide quality project visibility
