Training Modules on European Citizenship (2006)

"The training Module was excellent in every way and surpassed even our high expectations. Many of the participants are saying that it was the best week in their lives and they certainly seem to have built a special intelligent bond. (…)
I am sure that this course has given a powerful impetus to European Citizenship elements in the future activities of participants, and by extension, in the 24 countries they represented".

(Hazel Patterson, Action 5 Manager
UK National Agency - Connect Youth)

The training Modules in brief

In 2006, the Partnership implemented six training Modules on European Citizenship, which were hosted, co-organised and co-financed by six National Agencies of the YOUTH Programme of the European Commission.
These short-term Modules (5 days) aimed at supporting the professional development of youth workers and youth leaders by extending their competencies and by encouraging them to integrate elements of European citizenship within their daily projects and practice.
