Name
of the project: Leader’s Journey
Date:
09th to 16th
November 2016
Country/City:
Clare, Ireland
What
was the main topic of the event?
Grete
Vaalma: Leadership and organisational management.
Anastasia
Volkova: The main aim
of this training course was to develop the competences of youth workers to
engage and empower them to take up leadership positions and to equip them with
tools to lead a youth organisation.
What
was the biggest learning moments on the event for you?
Grete
Vaalma: We had a big load of information every day and a lot of big
learning moments, but probably biggest and most effective were all the
simulations and teamwork games we did.
Anastasia
Volkova: The whole
training experience was very useful and interesting, but the biggest challenge
for me was being true to myself in analysing my own leadership skills and
competences.
Grete
Vaalma: No particular plans but I’ll definitely use this new knowledge
wisely and take it into action anywhere I can.
Anastasia
Volkova: I am
definitely going to use all this knowledge in my future youth work studying and
youth work itself.
Would
you recommend it to your friends? I yes, why? If not, why not?
Grete
Vaalma: I would recommend it to that kind of friends who are seriously
interested in management and wanting to develop their strategic planning and
leadership skills because it really does that but to those who are just
slightly involved and maybe also want to know a little from the local culture,
it maybe might be a little disappointment since it is very strictly informative
training course about things mentioned before and it keeps its path.
Anastasia
Volkova: It would
surely recommend this training course to my friends, because you not just get a
lot of useful information about how to be an effective leader, but you get it
from amazing youth leaders who are very passionate in their job. You will also
get to know a lot of good people, who can become your friends and future
partners.

say a big fat THANK YOU, to the sending organisation especially Marco for being
