“Shape your thinking”
Asukoht: Zakopane, Poland
Toimumise aeg: 30.11.2019 – 08.12.2019
Saatvaks organisatsiooniks on Avatud Ühiskond MTÜ. Koolituse eesmärk on tuua kokku üliõpilased, noored, vabatahtlikud, õpetajad, õppejõud, koolitajad, õpipoisid, noorsootöötajad, ja haridustöötajad, et õppida ühiselt visualiseerimist ja graafilist teenusedisani noorsootöö meetodites. Osaleja peab olema vähemalt 20 aastane ning vanuse ülempiir puudub.
Õpiränne on üheks programmi Euroopa Noored kandvaks ja arendavaks jõuks, sest selle kaudu kujundatakse tulevikku silmas pidades noorsootöö kvaliteeti. See toimub peamiselt läbi rahvusvahelise kogemustevahetuse ning noorsootöötajate täiendkoolituse, aga ka rahvusvaheliste võrgustike ja partnerlussuhete arengu toetamise. Noorsootöötajate õpirände kaudu edendatakse väga erinevaid tegevusvorme – alates diskussioonidest Euroopa noorsoopoliitika päevakorralistel teemadel ja lõpetades konkreetsete projektide teostuseks vajalike partnerlussuhete arendamisega.
Noorsootöötajate osalus õpirändes panustab samuti organisatsiooni tegevussuutlikkuse arengusse.
Aastal 2018 pööratakse Erasmus+ programmis erilist tähelepanu noorsootöötajate pädevuste arendamisele ja meetodite jagamisele, mis aitavad edasi anda meie ühiskonna põhiväärtusi ja ära hoida noorte radikaliseerumist.
Projekti töökeel on inglise keel ning sellest lähtuvalt on projektiga seonduv informatsioon ning registreerimine lisatud vastavalt. Korduma kippuvate küsimustega on võimalik tutvuda siin. Kõikide küsimustega võib meie poole pöörduda eesti keeles: info@uhiskond.ee
General information and description of the project
The training course “Shape your thinking” is on 30.11.2019 – 08.12.2019 November 2019 in Zakopane, Poland, including two team members from Estonia. The partner organisations are from Partners: Romania, Italy, Estonia, Spain, Bulgaria, Czech Rep., Serbia, Hungary, North Macedonia, Slovenia, Slovakia, Poland.
The training course is aiming to provide basic skills and experiences to youth workers in the use of visual thinking and graphic facilitation methods in their youth work. Visual thinking is a way to organize your thoughts and improve your ability to think and communicate. It’s a great way to convey complex or potentially confusing information. If your ideas can’t be drawn, they can’t be done. Visual thinking is a vital skill for developing new ideas, communicating those ideas effectively and collaborating with others to make them real. Drawing is a natural process for thinking, exploring ideas and learning. Every child enjoys drawing — but at some point in our lives, we learn that drawing is the province of artists. This is a fallacy. You can draw and when you were a kid you knew it. You just forgot. During this training course, we will develop graphic facilitation skills (both manual and digital) that can be used in the context of non-formal learning and youth work.
This is an introductory course to graphical facilitation and visual thinking. It is addressed to beginners and no prior knowledge in drawing or digital graphic facilitation is required. We will develop us as visual thinkers starting from the basics.
Introduction to visual thinking and graphic facilitation methods, applying of basic shapes, elements and steps of graphic facilitation, create your own visual vocabulary (known as 8th step of graphic facilitation), introduction to basic use of Adobe Illustrator, to work with graphical markers and tools (water-based graphical markers and outliners), to work with drawing tablets.
