The Georgian participants Ekuna and Tamo from the youth association
DRONI are sharing their impression about the day 3 of the training course.
Today we were focusing only on the youth worker competences and we explored
each element separately. Here is the small interview that we did with them
together at the end of the day.
Ekuna:
“Today it was the best day so far and I will explain why: I really like
the balance of activities which are focusing on emotions and activities focusing
on practical knowledge. At the same time, I like the balance of individual and
group work. Highlight of the day would be the exercise “Taking Step forward”,
especially the discussion afterwards and how that all was linked with the
challenges and the needs that we wrote yesterday. On this way we could actually
feel and see the gaps where we are and where we want to be.
From the group I heard very meaningful comments today. The group has a ig
potential, slowly they are opening up and I feel that the best is yet to come
in the next days.
What I expect from tomorrow session is to focus on the context, so
thinking about our realities and putting all these skills of youth worker into
our own context. So I imagine it like talking about specific tools and “how to…”
question.
At the end I want to say that I liked very much the creativity of the
trainers. It is really engaging. I can point out the last activity from today, visualizing
the competences, that was really engaging. If it was done on different way, it wouldn’t
have been so engaging.”
Tamo:
“When I was coming for the project I had the expectations that I would
get specific knowledge about youth work that will improve my work as youth
work, so this training totally meets my expectations. This flow of the
programme today was very diverse and does not give you a chance to be bored or
not interested. I also would say that highlight of the day was “Taking Step
Forward” because after this exercise I realized that I don’t remember when was
the last time I had my own self-reflection. I would never stand and think what
I want to learn, what I am still lacking and what I have still to learn. This
was very useful for me that I will continue using in my work.
On every group discussion that we had today I could revise the things
that I already know, but also link them with some specific situations which
were completely new for me. So for the next days I expect a lot of more new
discoveries.”
