Description :

« Step by step : 1st phase »
Trinational training about international exchanges

This training is addressed to teachers, teamers or coordinators from France, Germany and Poland, willing to develop international exchanges projects. Through this training, we want to give you the keys needed to create, prepare, implement and evaluate an intercultural youth exchange. The first part will be in Châteaulin, in Brittany, starting with an intensive phase of getting to know each other.
The main theme, then, will be intercultural work during the youth meetings :

• How do we define the concept of culture and what is happening when people from different cultures are gathering together?
• What means the expression « intercultural shock », and how can we turn this shock into a positive experience?
• What are the similarities and differences between the pedagogical conceptions in the three countries represented, what consequences can it create in our work?
• What is the role of an intercultural teamer in our society? For what the intercultural youth meetings are made for?
• What is linguistic animation, and how does it helps communication between the youth?

To approach theses issues, we’ll use different exercice in full group, or small group, of discussion, evaluation, role-plays and simulation. We want the learning process to be as active as possible, using theoretical contributions to illustrate the experiences of the participants.
