The training course will contribute to developing youth workers' “Networking and Advocating”* competence based on the ETS Competence model for youth workers to work internationally:
To gain knowledge about youth policy, youth work system and recognition practices in one’s own and international context

*"Networking and advocating” competence means developing and managing partnerships with other relevant actors. It’s the ability to facilitate networking with others (in their community and outside it) and advocate for the value of youth work. It’s about being conscious on (political) values and beliefs and abilities to support young people in developing independent ‘political thought’.
