Project info:
ACT was a training course that aimed to support the professional development of young leaders/trainers and to raise the quality of their projects concerning active citizenship. We approached the idea of citizenship on three different levels: locally, nationally and in the European context. The training course used methods of experiential learning as role plays, simulations and drama methods and group sharing methods as small and large group discussions. Together, we were working out and improving ‘method toolkit’ on how to motivate youngsters for participation in their community and beyond. All over mission of the training course was to find the ways how to make the issue of citizenship attractive to the youth.
