Deadline: January 6, 2014
Are you a voluntary or professional Youth Worker, 18 years and above? The ‘Advanced Training On Quality’ (ATOQ) training course is for you. ATOQ aims at supporting experienced youth workers/leaders in increasing the quality of the European youth exchanges they will set up in the future. It will be taking place in Matera, Southern Italy from 11th to 16th February 2014.
ATOQ is a training course which has been developed to increase quality within youth exchanges. During 5 days, an international group of youth workers will look back to their past experience(s), focus on quality aspects and improve their management competences in order to improve quality for their future youth exchanges. The quality aspects, which will form the pillars of this course, are made in line with the standards promoted at international level.
