On Sunday we worked in teams to think about what kinds of courses or workshops we could offer for young people and what they might be interested in. Then we presented our ideas to the others and created a task as an example of non-formal education. This led us to the next topic: the differences between non-formal, formal, and informal learning, and what competences youth workers or leaders should have.
In the afternoon, we had a very creative program where we could make lots of DIY items, such as sewing, crocheting, and making bracelets. #yworkcompetencies#erasmusplus
