Project Agora.
The Project Agora's (from the Greek ageirein: to gather) is a regular meeting point to: Exchange ways of work in youth projects, reflect on how to integrate the course in the projects (thinking about transfer), market ideas for projects and partnerships.
Description of the tool.
* The participants are expected to present a concrete project idea on the last day of the training course. This implies that they need time to prepare it, including time to identify criteria according to which youth projects on European citizenship should be developed. It is important to keep open the possibility of developing projects alone or together with other participants. In any case, as part of the general approach of the course, it is of utmost importance that participants have a possibility to get to know the work practice of other participants better.
Different phases and steps of the Project Agora's: 1. There will be five regular Agora groups, each Agora group is accompanied by a trainer. 2. The team composes the Agora groups, but participants may change with someone else at any moment. 3. The Agora groups may decide their own working schedule, as long as it does not interfere with the formal parts of the programme. 4. By the 3rd Agora each participant should be encouraged to seriously think of what they would like to develop as project and with whom. Writing it down (before) may help. 5. The quality criteria for youth projects that are developed during the training, should also be taken into account while developing the project outline. 6. The last day of the training course is the day when participants should mostly work together in pairs or triples and consult with the trainers and resource persons available. The first Agora group meeting is intended to become more and better acquainted with the different organisational and project backgrounds of the various participants. Exchange of information, previous experiences, promotional and educational materials are encouraged.
